Abstract: Let $F/\QQ $ be a totally real number field of degree $n$. We explicitly
evaluate a certain sum of rational functions over a infinite fan of
$F$-rational polyhedral cones in terms of the norm map $\Norm \colon F\to \QQ
$. This completes Sczech's combinatorial proof of Satake's conjecture
connecting the special values of $L$-series associated to cusp singularities
with intersection numbers of divisors in their toroidal resolutions.
