We don't need another one. We already have three (numbers, with two words f=
or=20
Sunday; East Asian derived; colors). I don't know of any natlang with more=
=20
than two (Portuguese-Galician has two, of which Portuguese uses one and=20
Galician the other). The East Asian sequence (soldei ce'o lurdei ce'o fagde=
i=20
ce'o jaudje ce'o mudydei ce'o jimdei ce'o derdei) doesn't have an intrinsic=
=20
start of the week.

I looked up the Arabic names of days of the week; they all match the Hebrew=
=20
names except for =D9=8A=D9=88=D9=85 =D8=A7=D9=84=D8=AC=D9=85=D8=B9=D8=A9, f=
or which the Hebrew is =D7=99=D7=95=D7=9D =D7=A9=D7=A9=D7=99 (sixth day).=
=20
Sunday doesn't look like it matches but it does (ri'shon, first, is no=20
cognate of echad, one). So in Arabic, as in Hebrew, Sunday is the first day=
.
