https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_changes.php says that
ve is indeed the 2-character code for Venda:

>> This alpha-2 ISO 639-1 code was approved in 1999 and included in
>> ISO 639-1: 2002. It was mistakenly missing in earlier versions of
>> the tables on the ISO639-2 web site. As of January 2003, it has
>> been included.
