The composition or construction of the Adaduanan cycle appears to be based on an older six-day week. The six-day week is referred to as Nnanson (literally seven-days) and reflects the lack of zero in the numbering systems; the last day and the first day are both included when counting the days of a week.
| Day | Translation |
|---|---|
| Fo | Council day (passing sentence); judgement day |
| Nwuna | Sleep (death) day; funerals day; covered day |
| Nkyi | Behind (hate-taboo) day; destroyed day. |
| Kuro | Town (ie political) day; royal day |
| Kwa | For nothing ('just like that', free, unrestrained) day, servant day |
| Mono | Fresh (starting) day |
