Limit circle/point of an ODE with finite eigenvalues

Consider the following Sturm–Liouville (SL) eigenvalue problem defined in $(-\infty,0]$ or $[0,\infty)$ or $(-\infty,+\infty)$ $$(py')'-qy=-\lambda^2wy,$$ in which $p(x)=x^2$, $w(x)=1$, and $q(x)=(x/2+...

Chapter 2, Section 5 of Chavel's book “Eigenvalue In Riemann Geometry" is about the zero-point distribution of the derivatives of eigenfunctions

In Chapter 2, Section 5 of Chavel's book, regarding the Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian in space forms, how did Chavel determine that $T'_{l,j}$ has ($j-1$) zeros? I have consulted books on the ...
