about the pros and cons of the two current methods of naming the days of the week - one based on numbers, the other on concepts. {pavdei}
IMO "day of week" is not a kind of "-dei/djedi", but a kind of "detri". "... at DayOfWeek ..." is "... de'i SOMETHING ...". Do we really have a "logical" use case for "Monday" itself, without any event to attach "de'i X" to?
Moreover, "detri" implies the cultural bias(at x4), so, we can use any "foreign" day of week names. And consider "de'i li PA" to be the most neutral way of weekday naming.
And so for the month names. "January" is something near "de'i li pi'epa" (or pi'epi'epa, depends on x4 of detri)
