This tiresome review of the kuhane stations in Tahua has resulted in a reinforced conviction that they indeed exist not only in my imagination but also in the text, and that the right way to count is to begin with Ab8-41:

Ab8-39	Ab8-40	Ab8-41	Ab8-42
day zero		day 1
Ab8-43	Ab8-44	Ab8-45	Ab8-46
day 2		day 3

I have chosen to write 'day zero' because I have a feeling that the number of glyphs in the text should be 1334 + 2 = 1336 (thirteen 36). If so, then day zero should be day 1336 / 2 = 668 (= 368 + 300).

This idea fits in well with the recent discovery of day 368 counted from Ab8-41:

The text continues (and because 668 = 368 + 300 I have began counting days from 1 again):

Ab1-22	Ab1-23	Ab1-24	Ab1-25	Ab1-26	Ab1-27
1		2		3
Ab1-28	Ab1-29	Ab1-30	Ab1-31	Ab1-32	Ab1-33
4		5		6
Ab1-34	Ab1-35	Ab1-36	Ab1-37 (707)	Ab1-38	Ab1-39
7		8		9
Ab1-40	Ab1-41
10

Ab1-37 has been commented (at hanau in the glyph dictionary):

... Ab1-37 has ordinal number 707 counted from Aa1-1, which can be interpreted as the first half of the 354th day (counting 2 glyphs per day), i.e. it probably stands at Hatinga Te Kohe (the breaking of the staff), [the] last station of the sun (12 * 29.5 = 354) ...

Once again we must see a glyph from more than one perspective at a time. As the 2nd half of day 8 (out of 300 for the sun) - and followed by a rising fish (with an inversed henua ora sign) - we easily can imagine 8 dark nights followed by sun rising again. A perspective from the opposite direction - it is a time of birth, not of rule breaking.

Now we can look again at a recent dictionary page which I feel is rather dubious:

First we must update the table:
