Venus had a pair of dark periods (hidden phases), measuring 8 and 50 nights. This was common knowledge.
Therefore we can expect page E:50 will touch upon Venus - corresponding, I have suggested, to the name Uure for one of the Explorers (planets).
Ira and Raparenga had a hidden conversation with Uure and Makoi left on the outside. I have established there was a correspondence between Venus and the koti type of glyph (illustrating a pair of phases interruped by a dark invisible gap):

There was a contrast between the Sun (very bright, hot, and dry) and Saturn (very dark, cool, and wet). ... Possibly the Baptist was regarded as the tanist of Christ. If so there could be an opposition between Ira (representing the hot Great Fire in the Sky) and Makoi (representing the complementary pole of cool fresh Sky Waters). One of the names of Saturn was Dripping Water:
Likewise was there in a way an opposition between Moon and Venus: ... Notably the Raven, which was ascending in day 236 (= 8 * 29˝) in Roman times ('August 24), had moved ahead due to the precession of the equinoxes with 27 days to 'a clean cup' in day 263 at the time of rongorongo ... This explains why the Mayas at their time had another layout:
