The Order of The Days
The days of the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 day weeks are arranged in simple recurring cycles - much like the seven days of the week in the Gregorian calendar. Because 210 is not divisible by 4, 8, or 9, extra days must be added to the 4, 8, and 9 day weeks. For both the 4 and 8 day weeks the penultimate day of the week is repeated twice in the week that would have otherwise ended on the 72nd day. For the 9 day week the first day of the week is repeated 3 times in the first week of the 210 day Pawukon. The complexity of the calendar is increased by the calculations required to determine the arrangement of the days of the 1, 2, and 10 day weeks which are not ordered in simple recurring 1, 2 and 10 day cycles as one might expect.

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or days:
“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isn’t: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?””
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)
“Nights of storm, days of mist, without end;
Sad days when the sun
Shone in vain: old griefs and griefs
Not yet begun.”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
