One Daskuvar orbit around Mekiva.

Expressed in other units:

• ~5220.6 siro (“Wards”)
• ~7256.6 nero (“Years”)
• ~18223 years

One Dasirvi orbit around Mekiva.

Expressed in other units:

• ~1.39 nero (“Years”)
• ~3.924 tevo (“Passes”)
• ~1226.87 taath (“Days”)
• 1276.46 days

One orbit of Nekenalos around Mekiva.

This is not as useful a unit of time as one might naively expect. Since Nekenalos has no seasons, a year is purely of celestial interest.

Expressed in other units:

• ~2.82 tevo (“Passes”)
• ~881 taath (“Days”)
• ~2.5 years
• 916.6 days

Time it takes for Tevasur to realign with Nekenalos and Mekiva, i.e. orbit Mekiva once (~241 Earth days) plus change (~85 Earth days to catch up to Nekenalos, keeping in mind that Nekenalos also continues to move). Note that due to orbital eccentricity, “re-align” is not actually what one might expect.

Expressed in other units:

• ~70 yeno (“Weeks”)
• ~2.82 yennedo (“Calendars”)
• ~313 taath (“Days”)
• ~327 days

Time it takes for Yeenajei to orbit Mekiva often enough that the orbit sequence begins exactly at a Nekenalosan midnight and ends exactly at a Nekenalosan midnight.

Expressed in other units:

• 25 yeno (“Weeks”)
• 111 taath (“Days”)
• ~2772 hours

Time it takes for Yeenajei to orbit so it is in the same place relative to Nekenalos (i.e. one proper orbit plus a little bit of change), rounded to Nekenalosan days. Since Yeenajei does not orbit a multiple of Nekenalosan days, this has a day variance. See “Calendar” for the pattern of short to long weeks.

Yeenajei raw orbit in other units:

• 4.62 days

Yeenajei relative orbit in other units:

• ~4.6431 days
• ~4.44 taath (“Days”)
• ~111 hours
• ~35.52 paro (“Hours”) (3.52 paro more than 4 taath)

One yeno is either 4 days (“Zyshyeno”) or 5 days (“Vazhyeno”), depending on how much lag has accumulated.

Each week consists of the following four to five named days:

• Taathysa, the Youngest Day (from “taath”, day, and “ysazas”, to bear)
  Abbreviated TH
• Taatuman, the Learning Day (from “taath”, day, and “tumanus”, to learn)
  Abbreviated TU
• Taaqan, the Living Day (from “taath”, day, and “qanos”, to live)
  Abbreviated QA
• Taayut, the Dying Day (from “taath”, day, and “yutas”, to die)
  Abbreviated YU
• Taakas̈, the Sleeping Day (from “taath”, day, and “kas̈us”, to sleep)
  Abbreviated KA

The Sleeping Day (Taakas̈) is not always present. See the Calendar section for more details.

Time it takes for Nekenalos to rotate around itself.

Expressed in other units:

• ~25 hours (24.97 Earth hours = 24 hours, 58 minutes and 2 seconds)

An eighth of a Nekenalosan day. The hours have names, though they are rarely used:

• Kigaronosh, sunfloat
  Starts at midnight, lasts halfway until what we would call sunrise.
• Vaagaronosh, twilight sunfloat
  Starts halfway between midnight and what we would call sunrise, ends at what we would call sunrise.
• Vaatanosh, twilight sunrise
  Starts at what we would call sunrise, lasts halfway until noon.
• Taanosh, sunrise
  Starts halfway between what we would call sunrise and noon, ends at noon.
• Kivanosh, sunset
  Starts at noon, lasts halfway until what we would call sunset.
• Vaakinosh, twilight sunset
  Starts halfway between noon and what we would call sunset, ends at what we would call sunset.
• Vaaka͡inosh, twilight sunsink
  Starts at what we would call sunset, lasts halfway until midnight.
• Kiika͡inosh, sunsink
  Starts halfway between what we would call sunset and midnight, ends at midnight.

Every hour is split into eight “matters”.

Expressed in other units:
