As I understand it, some people begin the week on Sunday and others on Monday. 
We can have the same names for six days of the week by using {zeldei} or 
(nondei} for Sunday. But that leaves the Seventh-day Adventists with 
{xavdei}.

I can see a trace of the controversy in Russian. Вторник, четверг, and пятница 
indicate that Monday is day one, but среда indicates that Wednesday is the 
middle day.
