native language's word for Thursday is something like "fifth day". A
little malzdo would be preferrable to horrible confusion.
We should ask a Hebrew, Portuguese, Greek, Georgian, Armenian,
Vietnamese, Icelandic, Arabic, Malay, Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese,
Persian, Kazakh or Turkish speaker what they think.

Because of the "mu", how many else would it be?
That's why I said if you were writing "for me". I know that "mumdei"
has been (not very thoughtfully in my opinion) defined as "Friday".

Or only one of them could mean Friday, or neither.
