There are several systems in use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week-day_names In Chinese they have switched to a number based system, with Monday = 1. > Personally, I prefer to use numbering for both weekdays and months, for the > same reason I prefer the metric system.

What I don't like about N-dei lujvo for Lojban is that the place structure of "djedi" strongly suggests that N-dei should mean "djedi be li N". That, coupled with the potentially confusing conflict with so many languages, and that learning 7 words is really a very minor deal, is what makes me prefer the soldei-lurdei-fagydei-jaurdei-mudydei-jimdei-derdei system. mu'o mi'e xorxes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
