These Thurston maps are NET maps for every choice of translation term. They have degree 28. They are imprimitive, each factoring as a NET map with degree 14 followed by a Euclidean NET map with degree 2. PURE MODULAR GROUP HURWITZ EQUIVALENCE CLASSES FOR TRANSLATIONS {0} {lambda1} {lambda2} {lambda1+lambda2} These pure modular group Hurwitz classes each contain infinitely many Thurston equivalence classes. The number of pure modular group Hurwitz classes in this modular group Hurwitz class is 12.

(8N+1)/2 -> *, (8N+5)/2 -> (20N+13)/2 Every slope in S either maps to a slope in S or (*) it leaves S, its orbit never to return. The set S contains arbitrarily long segments of slope function trajectories, but it probably contains no infinite slope function trajectories. Here is the action of the slope function on a set S of slopes. (8N+3)/2 -> (20N+7)/2, (8N+7)/2 -> * Every slope in S either maps to a slope in S or (*) it leaves S, its orbit never to return. The set S contains arbitrarily long segments of slope function trajectories, but it probably contains no infinite slope function trajectories. The slope function maps some slope to the nonslope. If the slope function maps slope s to a slope s' and if the intersection pairing of s with 1/0 is n, then the intersection pairing of s' with 1/0 is at most n. The slope function orbit of every slope whose intersection pairing pairing with 1/0 is at most 50 either ends in the nonslope or ends in one of the slopes described above or it has an infinite tail in one of the infinite sets described above.
