Right, that was my point. 20 days from now, 11 Pax, will be 3 Etznab in the Tzolkin, that is, also an Etznab day. Of course, they wouldn't use just the 20-day week name with the Haab, but I was just correcting a misunderstanding that each day of the month had a name. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
