The queen of the amazons was being challenged in a duel to the death, but her opponent was an ally of Gaia and so was coming back every day from the underworld to challenge her again. Every night she had to duel her with the knowledge that she'd eventually lose.
Along those same lines, I imagine there would be a limit to how often a nunh can be challenged at when. If the nunh is challenged every night, then he's not going to be able to do his job. So it might be that once you challenge a nunh, you can't challenge him again for 1 month or something. Likewise, there may be a hold on challenges during times of war, because the nunh needs to be protecting his tribe. Of course, to keep a nunh from staying "at war" indeffinitely, you could just say that mating is also not allowed whiel at war, for the same reason.
This is all wild conjecture, mind you. I have no evidence at all.
I never heard of that story before--sounds interesting. How did it end, exactly? o.o
Also, I think the idea of having "grace periods" between which the Nunh can't be challenged (at least in a tribe where such challenges are announced) is a fairly realistic idea. Though I would lean towards the length being along the lines of a year to a handful of years rather than just a month--at least from my point of view with a less-violent tribe. The idea of calling off both mating and challenges during times of war makes sense, too. The governing body of the tribe could assist in defining when the tribe is "at war" or "at peace" in order to prevent the Nunhs from 'exploiting the system'... however, I suppose that means the elders (or whatever the head-honchos are for a specific tribe) could it exploit it for their own reasons, then, too xD
Thank you for the inspiration ;D

I'm personally looking forward to see a Tia challenging any of our Nunhs, and the tension that might create.
