The full kuhane journey ought to describe a month:

 

1. Nga Kope Ririva 2. Te Pu Mahore
3. Te Poko Uri 4. Te Manavai
5. Te Kioe Uri 6. Te Piringa Aniva
7. Te Pei 8. Te Pou
9. Hua Reva 10. Akahanga
11. Hatinga Te Kohe 12. Roto Iri Are
13. Tama 14. One Tea
15. Hanga Takaure 16. Poike
17. Pua Katiki 18. Maunga Teatea
19. Mahatua 20. Taharoa
21. Hanga Hoonu 22. Rangi Meamea
23. Peke Tau O Hiti 24. Mauga Hau Epa
25. Oromanga 26. Hanga Moria One
27. Papa O Pea 28. Ahu Akapu
(29. Te Pito O Te Kainga)

Red ('sun) always arrives after a black station, as in the week Sunday always comes after Saturday.

28 * 29.5 = 826 = 14 * 59 = 7 * 118. The last station in G is at Hanga Takaure (Ga1-1):

470
Ga1-1 (1) Ga1-1 (472)
472 = 8 * 59 days

In Tahua 1334 glyphs divided by 2 = 667 days (one more than the Number of the Beast). 22 kuhane stations (including Rangi Meamea) can be described in the text.

1295
Ab8-43 (1) Ab8-44 Ab8-6 (1298) Ab8-7
649 = 11 * 59 days

1334 - 1298 = 36 glyphs = 18 days are needed to move from Rangi Meamea (Ab8-6) to pito (Ab8-43). Does it mean Te Pito O Te Kainga (the 29th kuhane station) is 'stamped by the sun'? In the absence of moon sun of course must take over.

But should not Ab8-43 (pito) be the last glyph in Te Pito O Te Kainga?

32
Ab8-8 (1300) Ab8-9 Ab8-42 Ab8-43 (1335)
36 glyphs = 18 days

There are 2 glyphs per day in Tahua, and we have e.g. determined day 472 (Hanga Takaure) to be 944-945:

Ab3-63 Ab3-64 Ab3-65 (944) Ab3-66 Ab3-67

But with counting beginning with 1 at pito (Ab8-43) the even numbered glyphs which follow must be the 2nd of the two for a day. If we change the rule and assign 0 to Ab8-43, then Ab3-65--66 together will be day 472. According to the new rule, Te Pito O Te Kainga:
 

Ab8-8 Ab8-9 (1300) Ab8-10 Ab8-11 Ab8-12 Ab8-13
Ab8-14 Ab8-15 Ab8-16 Ab8-17 Ab8-18 Ab8-19
Ab8-20 Ab8-21 Ab8-22 Ab8-23 Ab8-24 Ab8-25
Ab8-26 Ab8-27 Ab8-28 Ab8-29 Ab8-30 Ab8-31
Ab8-32 Ab8-33 Ab8-34 Ab8-35 Ab8-36 Ab8-37
Ab8-38 Ab8-39 Ab8-39 Ab8-40 Ab8-41 Ab8-42
1334 = 22 * 59 + 36

Counting ought to begin with Ab8-44.

Ab8-43 (1334)
