Personally, I would like both > the Zodiac and the number system to be valid names for the months in Lojban. I think the number names are not so problematic for months (even though there are other calendars that don't start in January, but then the months lengths are also different, I believe). But for days of the week things are more confusing. Not everybody agrees which day is day 1. I believe Russian and Portuguese for example both use numbers for the names of the days, but they don't agree on where to start the count. That's why I like the proposed system: soldei Sun-day lurdei Moon-day fagdei Fire-day jaurdei Water-day mudydei Wood-day jimdei Metal-day tedydei Earth-day mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
