Hehe. Errm, you do know that I meant that it should be 24 hour in contrast to two blocks of twelve hours, right. :-) But let me think, in Tyk-Sjok, by the suggested way, a 24-hour-thingy would translate to: li hw sys kjox kul wng xjun <the-not-yet-existing-word-for-`hour'> `that which lasts for 24 hours' :-) Nice word for `day'. BTW: an hour is a 60-minute thingy... **Henrik
