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

[Amber Shadow <ambersshadows@gmail.com>]

It would be cool to split up the year into twelve months (as it is)
and then each month into either 24, 28, or 36 days and then split each
of those into six day weeks. Since lojbanists seem to like base 12 a
lot :)
