There are two: (soldei, lurdei, fagdei, jaurdei, mudydei, jimdei, derdei) and 
(nondei, pavdei, reldei, cibdei, vondei, mumdei, xavdei, zeldei). So there 
are three words for Sunday, the choice between "nondei" and "zeldei" based on 
whether you start the week with Sunday or Monday.

There's a natlang (past and, for reintegrationists, present) with two lists of 
days of the week, namely Portuguese-Galician.

As to the months, I used to use "celma'i" and the like, but now think those 
should be astrological signs, not calendar months. For the calendar months, I 
use (ianvari, frebuari, martio, prilio, madjio, djunio, djulio, avgusto, 
septembero, oktobero, novmbero, decmbero). Months used in previous versions 
of the Roman calendar include (mercedonio, kuintili, sektili).
