Like in the rest of Europe, Pomorian has names for four seasons. However, traditionally summer is split in two parts, each part having its own name. Unlike months names, Pomorian seasons names are native (not borrowed from any language). | Like in the rest of Europe, Pomorian has names for four seasons.

==Days of the week== | ==Days of the week== | ||
Words for days of the week are similar to Slavic tradition, nevertheless Pomorian once had its own names for the days. It is known, that Old Pomorian calendar had nine days, but their names were not preserved, except for the third day which probably was ''sawaitjā'', meaning "own day" (and maybe also the ninth - ''gadjā'', but it is disputed, whether this day was every week or just on special occasions). Some scholars think that these words can actually come from neighbouring Sudovian (an extinct West Baltic language) and not from Old Pomorian itself. | |||
