Well, Hangkerimians did adopt the European 7 days week, but I'm still
deciding if they borrowed the Spanish names, the English names, copied names
from their original "week" name or translated the names into Hangkerimce.

Borrowed from Spanish would bring: dúmînkù, lûnèse, mâretèse, mërekùlèse,
huhêpèse, përenèse, sâpàdù.

Well, the more "fixed" Christian calendar seams too temptating not to become
the world reference calendar in Zërâ and they actually use the _corrected_
Julian calendar (some kind of Gregorian calendar with corrections in the lap
years) in most of Zërâ.  But the official calendar in the Hangkerim
countries is the Hangkerim calendar (which is actually borrowed from the
Semtalika calendar and roots to some old Lemuraki culture calendar).  This
is a solilunar calendar.  The year begins at _autum_ equinox (is there a
name ofor that equinox that is not Northern Hemisphere dependant?) and
months (lunations) begin with new moon.  The first month of a year is the
first complete lunation (new moon to new moon).  There are either 11 or 12
complete lunations.  The 12th or 13th lunation, which is divided between two
years (or the last if new moon day is the equinoxe day), is a festivity
month.  The lap lunation is the 8th wish is doubled.  Calculations and not
observation is used in modern days (since the First Republic, 1200 years
ago).

Well, I have to come with some names.
