These Thurston maps are NET maps for every choice of translation term.
They have degree 16. They are imprimitive, each factoring as a NET map
with degree 8 followed by a Euclidean NET map with degree 2.
PURE MODULAR GROUP HURWITZ EQUIVALENCE CLASSES FOR TRANSLATIONS
{0} {lambda1} {lambda2} {lambda1+lambda2}
Since no Thurston multiplier is 1, this modular group Hurwitz class
contains only finitely many Thurston equivalence classes.
The number of pure modular group Hurwitz classes
in this modular group Hurwitz class is 7.

EXCLUDED INTERVALS FOR THE HALF-SPACE COMPUTATION
(-82.500000,82.500000)
The half-space computation does not determine rationality.
EXCLUDED INTERVALS FOR JUST THE SUPPLEMENTAL HALF-SPACE COMPUTATION
INTERVAL COMPUTED FOR HST OR EXTENDED HST
-32.499023)(32.500000 infinity EXTENDED HST
The supplemental half-space computation shows that these NET maps are rational.

NUMBER OF EQUATORS: 1 1 0 0
There are no more slope function fixed points.
Number of excluded intervals computed by the fixed point finder: 723
No nontrivial cycles were found.
The slope function maps some slope to the nonslope.
The slope function orbit of every slope p/q with |p| <= 50 and
|q| <= 50 ends in either one of the above cycles or the nonslope.
