Days of the week
Numeric system
Rafsi are based on numeric rafsi. Starts with 1=Monday, or 0=Sunday. Advantages include compatibility with some languages (e.g. Chinese, Russian) and ISO numbering. Disadvantages include clashing with numbering in other languages (e.g. Portuguese, Greek)
English | Lojban | Etymology |
---|---|---|
Monday | pavdei | pa (one) |
Tuesday | reldei | re (two) |
Wednesday | cibdei | ci (three) |
Thursday | vondei | vo (four) |
Friday | mumdei | mu (five) |
Saturday | xavdei | xa (six) |
Sunday | zeldei / nondei | ze (seven) / no (zero) |
Spectral / rainbow system
Rafsi based on the primary and secondary colors of the visible light spectrum. This system is novel; an advantage is that purple can also result from a mixture of blue and red, thus reflecting the cyclic nature of the week.
English | Lojban | Etymology |
---|---|---|
Sunday | xundei | xunre (red) |
Monday | najdei | narju (orange) |
Tuesday | peldei | pelxu (yellow) |
Wednesday | ri'odje / ri'ordei | crino (green) |
Thursday | cicnydei | cicna (cyan) |
Friday | bladei | blanu (blue) |
Saturday | zirdei | zirpu (purple) |
Elemental system
Rafsi based on historic alchemical/celestial associations. The planetary associations with the days are Western, the elemental associations with the planets are Eastern. The end result is reflected in languages like Japanese and Vietnamese.
English | Lojban | Etymology |
---|---|---|
Sunday | soldei | solri (Sun) |
Monday | lurdei | lunra (Moon) |
Tuesday | fagdei | fagri (fire, associated with Mars) |
Wednesday | jaudje / jaurdei | djacu (water, associated with Mercury) |
Thursday | mudydei | mudri (wood, associated with Jupiter) |
Friday | jimdei | jinme (metal, associated with Venus) |
Saturday | derdei | dertu (earth/dirt, associated with Saturn) |
Months of the year
