For my personal use, I've created a Gjarrda calendar (which does have
seven-day weeks, but not tied to the traditional ones). I haven't yet
figured out the orbital mechanics of the Procyon system, so I don't know
what calendar the Gjarrda speakers themselves would use.

Somewhere around I also have an Olaetian calendar of around 400 days, with
10-day weeks, but I haven't got around to sorting out all those old papers
after the move.
