The list of kuhane stations was beginning with the 3 islets out in the sea down in the southwestern corner of Easter Island, those islets which did not belong to Hau Maka but to Taanga - the 8th ariki motongi:

Then the Hau Maka stations on the mainland began with Pu Mahore. However, when in day 161 Makoi began to familiarize himself with the land he had already (9 days earlier) named their landing site as a place belonging to Ira.

In Te Maro 10 (161) they all went along to Te Manavai and to Poko Uri - in an order opposite to that of the dream soul of Hau Maka. However for the moment without Makoi giving names to these places.

Pu Mahore was evidently a special case. To this place Makoi went alone. It was the first in the list (tapa igoa) which had the denomination A Hau Maka O Hiva. Here was zenith (te tini), the place to spawn.

Ura. Ura, lobster. Ûra, flame, blaze (ûra ahi), to become furious (with manava as subject: ku-ûra-á te manava). Úraúra, bright red. Vanaga. 1. Crayfish, lobster, prawn. P Mgv.: ura, crayfish. Mq.: , lobster. Ta.: oura, crayfish, lobster. 2. Fire, burning, to be in flames; uraga, combustion, flame, torch; hakaura, to cause to glow, to kindle, to light. P Mgv., Ta.: ura, a flame, to burn.

Koura. 1. Fry, spawn, roe. 2. Flea. P Mgv.: ura, crayfish, lobster. Mq.: koua, ua, id. Ta.: oura, id. The preface ko to the stem ula distinguishes the Tongafiti. We therefore assign the word in Rapanui and Tahiti to a Tongafiti source, in Mangareva to a Proto-Samoan source, and Marquesas shows both ... Rapanui is the only language which defines the flea otherwise than in terms of the louse, commonly kutufiti the jumping louse. Pediculus is ancestral in the South Sea, the flea seams to have been contributed by the first of the explorers. Churchill.

Counting from the preceding "January 1 this was day 531 (= 365 + 166). In other words Pu Mahore A Hau Maka O Hiva was at the position of 18 lunar synodic months. Here was 18 * 29½ = 531. Here was 'the fish Mahore, who was in a (water) hole to spawn'.
