Then we should perceive that in Mamari there is a sequence with 10 glyphs with similar structure: Notice that Cb1-4 with maro in front evidently indicates the end of a period initiated at Ca14-218. And the open empty hand in Ca14-223 is similar to the empty hand of Jupiter (Thursday) up at right in Eb7-12
The honu (Ca14-219, 222 and Cb1-2) are probably related to similar glyphs appearing in Mamari before those above. My improved label *Ca14-24 for Ca14-218 indicates we can rely on my counting to number 24 for this glyph in line Ca14. Such improved labels have been denoted by a preceding asterisk (*) by me. We need these improved labels in order to better appreciate the number plays used by the rongorongo writers. For instance can we here count 142 * 4 (↔ 14-24) in order to find 568 (= 142 * 4) = 584 (synodic cycle of Venus) - 16 (number of day they anciently used to count from true heliacal dates to the return to visibility of the relevant stars). We should also notice that pepe is appearing in one more place in Keiti, viz. the week in Eb7-17--34. There Metoro in addition to pepe also used the various words takaure, veveke, koka and makere. According to http://www.rongorongo.org/vanaga we have: takaśre = fly; horse-fly veveke = 1. dragonfly 2. to arrive early [!] koka = cock-roach makere = an insect. Notably it was at Eb7-22 Metoro said pepe. We can guess he counted 22 / 7 = 3.14. Moreover, it could hardly be a coincidence that the creator of the E text had this pepe on one side of the tablet and the other 3 on the other side. A quick look in my overview table for E reveals that the single pepe on side b is glyph number 568 if we should count from the beginning of side a, wherea the first pf the 3 on side a of the tablet, Ea7-7 (→ 49), is number 224 (→ 88). 88 - 49 = 39, which was a number used by the creator of an ancient mammoth bone calendar. But we should stop and take a deep breath here for the moment.
