3. Page number 40 is beginning with item number 31, i.e. the same number as that of Moto Kumu at the end of page 39, but the name is different:

32 motu humu koka a mare a kaoa.
33 hanga maihiku a papa hakakiva.
34 maunga toatoa a veri iri haere.

And the following 32 Motu Humu seems to be intended as a contrast to Moto Kumu.

There is no Capital Letter at the beginning of any of the items on page 40. But Te at 35 Te Pipi Horeko indicates the end of a group of 5 items. There are 5 + 8 = 13 stations on page 40. I have reorganized my table for page 39 in order to have 5 items also at the end of page 39.

Beyond 26 Te Hakarava there will thus be (3 + 2) + (2 + 3) = 10 items (or 8 if we subtract the overcrossed ones). 26 + 10 = 36. Number 36 Hanga Tetenga has double te inside the name, which possibly indicates a negation of te, i.e. instead of 'end of Sun' it could mean 'beginning of Sun'. If we count text lines instead of numbered stations then 36 Hanga Tetenga will be number 42.

A negation of te (which could be the meaning of tete) possibly refers to the cold in the absence of Sun:

Tete

Tete nihotete, to gnash the teeth. Tetete, fever, to tremble. P Mgv.: tete, to shiver with cold. Mq.: tete, to tremble, to shiver, to show the teeth; haátete i te niho, to gnash the teeth. Ta.: tete, to make a noise, to chatter. Mq.: tete, a bird.

Ta.: tetei, to clench the teeth. Mq.: tetei, to grit the teeth, to show the teeth. Ma.: tetea, to show the teeth, to gnash the teeth.
