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.

“Being a Georgia author is a rather specious dignity, on the same order as, for the pig, being a Talmadge ham.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“All the experts here ... say “There will be no war.” They said the same thing all through July 1914.... In those days I believed the experts. Today I have my tongue in my cheek. This does not mean I am become cynical; but as President I have to be ready just like a Fire Department!”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
