Also the preceding Akahanga is a kuhane station, but Makoi went withershins and therefore it comes before instead of after Hua Reva. Above, in my table over kuhane stations, I have inserted an asterisk (*, a star of birth) also at Hua Reva, because we ought to be able to draw such a tentative conclusion after the previous pages.
The stations of death (for Sun at Akahanga respectively for Moon at One Tea) evidently follow the stations of birth (unless you move withershins). The circuit of Makoi goes withershins which is like drawing a map down on earth of the sky up above (cfr at Heka). When the 'father' goes down - is 'swallowed' at the horizon in the southwest - his 'offspring' (hua) is saved by being hung up like an uvula (reva) at the roof of the mouth.
