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...
