Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: [lojban] A suggestion for the Lojban names of weekdays and months.

Ok, everyone. I just recently started reconnecting with the lojban community, though I was an active member in the 1990's. During one Logfest meeting (I can't specify the year) the topic of how to specify weekdays was discussed extensively. What we determined was that different groups could use different day names and we came up with several options. We figured that any confusion could be clarified as needed. In the end we decided on two or three cycles to use, but left this open for eventually adding others as well. One cycle used the continents in order as you proceed around the earth following the Sun. I apologize for not remembering which was connected to which day. The one I preferred was based on the color wheel -- Wednesday was color-day followed in order by red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple days. Wednesday was chosen for the off day because we couldn't think of any group that used that day as a religious one.

Those could actually work as names for central incisor, lateral
incisor, canine, first molar, second molar, ... I don't know if there
is a standard ordering for those, probably there is.

In this case there is no interference from the place structure of
"denci" that would suggest a quantity value for the numbers, rather
than just a label.
