     C^u ne estas miriga, ke la tuta mondo uzas la saman planon de
"semajnoj"?  Mi pensas, ke la "semajno" estas pli populara kaj grava ol la
Romaj monatoj, C^inaj monatoj, kaj ec^ miaj "ekvinoksaj monatoj".

     Is it not wonderful that the whole world use the same schedule of
"weeks"?  I think that the "week" is more popular and more important than
Roman months, Chinese months, or even my "equinoxal months".

     Tiel, Latin-lingvo kaj C^in-lingvo, diferencas per unu.  En C^in-lingvo,
ni uzas "stelperiodo suno" por dimanc^o, kaj "stelperiodo unu" g^is "ses" por
la aliaj tagoj de la semajno.

     Then Latin and Chinese miss by one.  In Chinese, we use "star period
sun" for Sunday (alternatively "star period day" or "worship sun" or "worship
day") and use "star period one" to "six" for the rest of the week.
