A review of spoken route notes, carved markers and the public branch map finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the route table at Lantern Hall. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: one route name describes the sound heard at a junction rather than its shape.
The spoken route notes, carved markers and the public branch map lists 88 spoken names linked to a direction and junction; the previous window lists 86. Kip Copper checked both against check-out slips compared with the handoff mark at the next station. The source was checked against a second copy held by Tikka Reed. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The map room wants direction names. Residents use sound names to remember the route. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how a map can hold a spoken name without mistaking it for a physical direction.
The table records the result and the branches included in the decision. The board recorded the outcome that it retained the current map and published the route walk that supports it.
