[lojban-beginners] Dates

[Travis Garris <ptg_thug@yahoo.com>]

I was trying to make a simple, little date clock for
my desktop, something to put more lojban in my
environment to help memorize things.  As a result, I
want it to be in text, not in numbers.  So I want "the
25 of June" instead of "6/25" (or "25/6").

So I have "remu pe'i xa".

I'd like to use "xavmast", but I'm not sure how to
phrase that.  "remu pe'i xavmast"?  How do I add
Wednesday ("cibdjed") to that?

As I'm looking over times, I found something that
bothers me.  I figured I'd ask incase I'm just
misunderstanding.

"papa pe'i pa":  Is that 11:01 or January 11?  That
depends on where it is used, which is fine.  When
telling time, it reads hour "pe'i" minute, larger unit
"pe'i" smaller unit.  When telling the date, it tells
day "pe'i" month, smaller unit "pe'i" larger unit.

That just sits wrong with me.
