It's just a question of what values of k you permit. In my post I permit
k=0; Chai Wah Wu starts with k=1.

But why truncate the table at a triangle? It makes perfect sense to ask,
for instance, how many distinct values can be obtained by adding 17 9th
roots of unity.

It's also intriguing that the 6th row differs from the "hex numbers" by
leading with 6 rather than 7, which makes me suspect that in seeking
formulae for these rows, we should be wary of "startup glitches" in the
first few entries.
