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:
“The whole matter revolves around the self-respect of my people. How much satisfaction can I get from a court order for somebody to associate with me who does not wish me near them?”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“These are days ... when a great cloud of trouble hangs and broods over the greater part of the world.... Then all about them, all about us, sits the silent, waiting tribunal which is going to utter the ultimate judgment upon this struggle.... No man is wise enough to produce judgment, but we call hold our spirits in readiness to accept the truth when it dawns on us and is revealed to us in the outcome of this titanic struggle.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
