Page E:1001 could have been numbered thus in order to allude to One thousand and One Night. Scheherazade had been sentenced to die, but she kept alive by telling wonderful stories for the King who could not stop listening to her.

... On the night of their marriage, Scheherazade begins to tell the king a tale, but does not end it. The king is thus forced to postpone her execution in order to hear the conclusion. The next night, as soon as she finishes the tale, she begins (and only begins) a new one, and the king, eager to hear the conclusion, postpones her execution once again. So it goes on for 1,001 nights ...

Marriage and death -  'cooking' - was the theme.

 

I.e., it happened at the hot time of zenith ('noon' = midsummer). Although the 1001 stories were told in the night, not in the light.

... It grew light [he otea], and King Hotu said the following [penei ē] to Veri Hina: 'Keep your eyes on me, (you and) the son-in-law, as soon as I leave. If the terns (manu tara) fly (high) above me (hiri), I shall continue to live. But if the terns dive (down) on me (vevero), then I have died. Then you (you and the son-in-law) shall go on your way!' [E:1002]

 Egyptian sky pillar Phoenician waw Greek upsilon Υ(υ)

... Upsilon (uppercase Υ, lowercase υ; Greek: ύψιλον, ıpsilon ... is the 20th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, Υ has a value of 400. It is derived from the Phoenician waw ... Waw (wāw 'hook') is the sixth letter of the Semitic abjads ...

... Upsilon is known as Pythagoras' letter, or the Samian letter, because Pythagoras used it as an emblem of the path of virtue or vice. As the Roman writer Persius wrote in Satire III:

and the letter which spreads out into Pythagorean branches has pointed out to you the steep path which rises on the right.

Lactantius, an early Christian author (ca. 240 - ca. 320), refers to this:

For they say that the course of human life resembles the letter Y, because every one of men, when he has reached the threshold of early youth, and has arrived at the place 'where the way divides itself into two parts', is in doubt, and hesitates, and does not know to which side he should rather turn himself´...

Like how the words were being created in order to evoke pictures so were the numbers. They came before the alphabet.

When king Hotu said that if the swallows were flying high it was like a description of the path from Porrima to the Grape Gatherer (Vindemiatrix) and if they were flying low it was like the path down to Spica:

When the Sun King reached "June 25 it was at Ga3-14 (→ π) and at the time when the Full Moon was at the Southern Pole star (Dramasa); this 'happened to be' the place at the right ascension line for *320 = day 400 at the time of rongorongo. Y had (and would always have) a value of 400 = 20 * 20. This could have been the place for the Egyptian 'tent peg'.

Egyptian djed Phoenician sāmekh Greek xi Ξ (ξ) 

... In rongorongo times the last Greek lettered star in Orion (ξ) rose with the Sun in June 21. The letter seems to have originated from the Phoenician letter samekh (tent peg, supporting prop), which in turn may have been derived from the ancient Egytian djed column ...

... Isis, overwhelmed with grief, sheared off her locks, donned mourning, and searched in vain, up and down the Nile; but the coffin had been carried by the tide to the coast of Phoenicia, where, at Byblos, it was cast ashore. A tamarisk immediately grew up around it, enclosing the precious object in its trunk, and the aroma of this tree then was so glorious that the local king, and queen, Melqart and Astarte - who were, of course, a divine king and queen themselves, the local representatives, in fact, of the common mythology of Damuzi and Inanna, Tammuz and Ishtar, Adonis and Aphrodite, Osiris and Isis - discovering and admiring its beauty, had the tree felled and fashioned into a pillar of their palace ...

At the time of Bharani the "June 21 solstice was illustrated by what looks like a spear-headed man (tangata vero) in Ga3-10:

On the fifth day of the month of July (Anakena), they all got up, went downhill, went on, and reached Hanga Te Pau. They took their provisions with them, carrying them on their shoulders, went on, and reached Te Pou. They made camp and slept in Te Pou on the tenth of the month of July (Anakena). Then they all got up, carried their provision on their shoulders, went straight ahead, and followed the path of the dream soul of Hau Maka. They came to Hua Reva and said, This is Hua Reva A Hau Maka!... (E:21-22)
