Another 2 full stops come at the end (page 80) and this pair of fishing grounds are evidently special, possibly a later addition to accomodate influences from abroad (from Hiva) which state there are 12 months in a year:

... Whare-patari, who is credited with introducing the year of twelve months into New Zealand, had a staff with twelve notches on it. He went on a visit to some people called Rua-roa (Long pit) who were famous round about for their extensive knowledge. They inquired of Whare how many months the year had according to his reckoning. He showed them the staff with its twelve notches, one for each month. They replied: 'We are in error since we have but ten months. Are we wrong in lifting our crop of kumara (sweet potato) in the eighth month?' Whare-patari answered: 'You are wrong. Leave them until the tenth month. Know you not that there are two odd feathers in a bird's tail? Likewise there are two odd months in the year.' ...

The people called Rua-roa (Long pit) probably have their name from winter solstice:

"The ten or twelve days when the Sun appeared to linger at the winter solstice were a period of deep concern to primitive man, who trembled lest the luminary hesitate too long or fail to return to give life and warmth to earth and mankind. Hence the reference to the 'long pit' [marua-roa - a term used by the Maori for both solstices (and for the seasons of the solstices)].

Rua or lua is the cavern on the horizon from which the Sun rises or the corresponding pit on the western horizon through which he descends to the Underworld, and the 'long pit' was the one in which he remained for several successive days rising at the same point and setting at the same point while apparently making up his mind to retrace the path toward the equinoxes.

In the short winter days when food was scarce and the earth unproductive and one looked forward with longing to the welcome warmth of spring it was impossible not to feel apprehension until the lengthening of the hours of daylight became perceptible, bringing assurance of the renewal of life." (Makemson, a.a.)

The kuhane station Taha-roa is number 19 on the mainland and 19 is a Sun number:

Taha

To lean; to go down (of the sun in the evening). Taha-taha. 1. Side, edge; shore: taha-taha tai. 2. To move from side to side (of a boat), to swing. Vanaga.

1. To bend, sloping, to go hither and thither, to evade; ki taha, near; taha ke, to go in different directions; tahataha, frontier, horizon; hiriga tahataha, to cross, to go across; hakataha, to divert, to turn away, to go aside, to be on one side, to dodge, to shun, oblique, to incline the head, to turn over on another side, to avoid, to subject; mata hakataha, to consider; tae hakataha, immovable. 2. To tear. PS Mgv.: tahataha, to cut into pieces. Sa., To., Fu.: tafa, to cut, to gash. Viti: tava, id. Churchill.

Moe tahae, to be a light sleeper. Tahatai (taha 1 - tai), littoral, coast, shore; tahatahatai, coast. Churchill.

The fishing ground Taharoa probably refers to winter solstice. It is number 10 as if to echo an old system with 10 months of Sun in a year. These old 10 months could have been 30 days each, in which case they probably were divided in twice 150 days:

78)
*1 ko te hina.*	*1 ko piro.*
*2 ko te kana haure.*	*2 ko pura.*
*3 ko koekoe.*	*3 ko hatehate.*
*4 ko tuu.*	*4 ko uto.*
*5 ko mahatua.*	*5 ko mata o hotu.*
*a Hotu. a Honga.*	*a Hotu. a Teke.*

The division in two equal groups explains why there is an additional name (a Honga. respectively a Teke.). Page 78 then suggests we should add 300 + 78 = 378 in order to reach the master of time, viz. Saturn. He and Moon are the basic time givers. If we count with 78 days for the rest of the fishing grounds they will each get 13 days, 6 * 13 = 78.

The 4 fishing ground without full stop signs could cover 4 * 13 = 52, in which case 300 + 52 = 352 is not far from 12 * 29.5 = 354 nights.

Sun disappears with the 10th month Mata O Hotu (the 'eye' of the Sun King). If 10 months is the basic cycle next month must be Te Hina (definitely referring to Moon). Yet te indicates Sun and it is repeated in the 2nd month of Moon, Te Kana Haure.

Teke has te at the beginning and we can count 5 + 2 = 7 in order to reach 'the turtle' (the land). According to the old system with 10 months in a year the structure could have been 2 + 3 + 5 = 10. First a lunar doublemonth, then 3 months for spring, and finally 5 months with Sun shining in full strength.

*Te Hina*	*Piro*	*Te Pungaehu*	*Taharoa*
*Te Kana Haure*	*Pura*	*Hatu*	*Rangi Meamea*
*Koekoe*	*Hatehate*	*Piu*
*Tuu*	*Uto*	*Hau Ngutu*
*Mahatua*	*Mata O Hotu*
*150*	*150*	**52 = 4 13***	**26 = 2 13***
*300*		**78 = 6 13***
*378 = synodical period of Saturn*

The system of numbers in the table above is just a conjecture, though, there are alternatives.
