''[ | =====Lunar days===== | ||
Each lunar day has its own name, much like our days of the week. Out of all names, seven are of Chlouvānem origin, two are taken proper names of unknown origin but attested in the ''[[Chlouvānem/Literature#The_Lile.E1.B9.83sasarum|Lileṃsasarum]]'', while all other ones are Lällshag<ref>The four ''-leilē'' days are half-calques, ''leilē'' being the Chlouvānem word for "candle", not of Lällshag origin. ''mån'', ''joune'', ''llashi'', and ''ałane'', also seen in the days immediately preceding them, are the numbers from 1 to 4 in Lällshag.</ref>. | |||

* In the first case, every four lunar years an additional lunar day (which is always a rest day) is added after the last day of the last ''līleñchlæriāvi''; this day is called ''lališlān'' (or, formally, ''lališire lānicunih'' - both meaning “new lānicunih”).
