At vae kore the following list of kuhane stations was assembled:

Te Pei

8 * 29.5 = 236

Gb1-6 Gb1-7 (236) Aa6-12 Aa6-13 Aa6-14 Aa6-15 (472)
Te Pou

9 * 29.5 = 265.5

Gb2-10 Gb2-11 (266) Aa6-72 Aa6-73 Aa6-74 Aa6-75 (532)
Hatinga Te Kohe

12 * 29.5 = 354

Gb4-33 Gb5-1 (354) Aa8-79 Aa8-80 Aa8-81 Aa8-82 (708)

The list has, though, been updated to show 4 glyphs in A (corresponding to 2 in G). Earlier numbers for the glyphs in A have been reduced by 1 because counting now begins with Ab8-44 rather than with pito (Ab8-43).

However, the numbers for the stations (according to how many multiples of 29.5 are needed), indicate Te Pito O Te Kainga should be included as number 1:

1. Te Pito O Te Kainga
2. Nga Kope Ririva 3. Te Pu Mahore
4. Te Poko Uri 5. Te Manavai
6. Te Kioe Uri 7. Te Piringa Aniva
8. Te Pei 9. Te Pou
10. Hua Reva 11. Akahanga
12. Hatinga Te Kohe 13. Roto Iri Are
14. Tama 15. One Tea
16. Hanga Takaure 17. Poike
18. Pua Katiki 19. Maunga Teatea
20. Mahatua 21. Taharoa
22. Hanga Hoonu 23. Rangi Meamea

Can we now connect the list over kuhane stations with the two cycles and the viri glyphs? Akahanga comes later in the text of Tahua than Rangi Meamea, given that we begin reading at Ab1-1. Birth comes first (Ab1-1), then maturity (Rangi Meamea), and last death and burial (Akahanga):

 

Rangi Meamea
Ab7-26 (1233) Ab7-27 Ab7-28 Ab7-29 Ab7-30 Ab7-31 Ab7-32 (1239)
Akahanga 1344 - 1239 + 646 = 751
Aa8-22 (647) Aa8-23 Aa8-24 Aa8-25 (650) Aa8-26 (651)

If Tama should be at Ab1-1, then a 10-station of life could be:

 

14. Tama 15. One Tea
16. Hanga Takaure 17. Poike
18. Pua Katiki 19. Maunga Teatea
20. Mahatua 21. Taharoa
22. Hanga Hoonu 23. Rangi Meamea

Beyond Rangi Meamea a new 10-station cycle could then begin:

 

2. Nga Kope Ririva 3. Te Pu Mahore
4. Te Poko Uri 5. Te Manavai
6. Te Kioe Uri 7. Te Piringa Aniva
8. Te Pei 9. Te Pou
10. Hua Reva 11. Akahanga

However, Tama comes later than at Ab1-1, viz. in line b2:

 
Tama

14 * 29.5 = 413

Gb7-2 Gb7-3 (413) Ab2-30 Ab2-31 Ab2-32 Ab2-33 (826)
