Considering all this, I wonder: we have local major money units (rupnu), lo= cal length units (gutci), local area units (kramu), but time is measured in= minutes, hours, days (OK, this is no surprise), 7-day weeks and 1/12-of-th= e-year months. Why?

I realized I may have spending too m= uch time on facebook when I started looking around for the 'like' b= utton to mark this observation. =A0;-)
