The Calculation
Each of the days of the five, seven, and ten day weeks has a urip, or ritual value. For the ten day week the urip of the days are - from the first day to the tenth day - 5, 2, 8, 6, 4, 7, 10, 3, 9, 1. For the seven day week the urip of the days are - from first day to seventh day - 5, 4, 3, 7, 8, 6, and 9. For the five day week the urip of the days are - from the first day to the fifth day - 9, 7, 4, 8, 5. For any particular day of the Pawukon, add the urip of the day of the 5 day week to the day of the seven day week and then add one - if the sum is more than ten, then ten must be subtracted from it. This calculated value determines which day of the week it is in the 1, 2, and 10 day weeks. If the calculated value is even then the day is Pept in the two day week and Luang in the one day week, however if the calculated value is odd then the day is Menga in the two day week and is not a day of the one day week. The day in the ten day week is the one for which the calculated value matches its urip.
