These are all -religious- concepts putting the sabbath as the last numbered 
day of the week. Sadly, the secular world starts on Monday, and Lojban is a 
secular language. We've not arrived at a single conclusion, but we have what 
I've seen to be four main options.

1. Stick to the classic {pavdei} and just deal with the fact that it looks 
retarded ('oneday' rather than 'firstday').
2. Use the more sensible {pavmomdei}.
3. Use {pavdetri} as perhaps a more specific meaning.
4. Use some kind of naming scheme (that is not a direct translation of any 
natural language weekday name. Many of the existing proposals are translated 
from the French/English where they aren't based on the name of a God, and 
Japanese for those days which couldn't be taken from the former).

Unless we have some rational alternate option, I think we should vote on one 
of these four in a last-man-standing kind of tournament. Vote on all four, 
the one least liked gets dropped, rinse, repeat.
