OTOH, a culturally-neutral lg shd be able to adapt itself to diverse
chronometric systems, including the ones that run 12-1-...-11 a.m.+p.m.
and the ones that run 0-...-23. The same goes for feet & inches,
stone and ounces, etc.

But it shdn't be a job for cmene, though. It shd be a lujvo thing.
So "lo relvoncacra", not "la revocac".
