Portuguese, Greek, and Hebrew agree that Monday is the second day, so this can 
be taken to be the Yahwist opinion (especially because of the Greek and 
Hebrew). Russian considers Tuesday to be second, but Wednesday middle. The 
word for Saturday in all these is or is derived from Shabbat. The Russian 
words have arbitrary suffixes.

Galician, however, which is sometimes considered a dialect of Portuguese or 
vice versa, uses the Roman gods as do other Romance languages: domingo, luns, 
martes, mércores, xoves, venres, sábado.
