Planetary characteristics
1 HM year = 381.3668618 Earth days/357.0806527870906 HM days
1 HM day = 25.6323176 hours
86400
357 days = 51 7-day weeks
leap day every 12.3988275678 years
months: 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29(30)
every 12 except: when the year is divisible by 372
perfect for clofabians
so the years 270, 520, 790, X40, 10E0, 1360, 1610, 1880, ... are not leap years
actually if the year is divisible by 130944=352*372 it's a leap year

- spúith = plucked string instrument with sympathetic strings
- ŋamsaí (from Netagin) = a bowed string instrument used for melodic lines
Need more Netagin instruments
Tuning systems
Older music uses JI scales (tonality diamonds) and some temperaments (mostly as approximations to JI). Scúdhainn defined the concept of rank-2 temperaments as tuning theorist and was the first to use some of them in her musical œuvre.
Folk and popular music prefers "simpler" harmonic series based scales - e.g. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Religions and mysticism
- Thensarian paganism
- Wiebian paganism
- Naquian paganism
- Clofabian paganism
- A more universalistic religion (in the same general cluster as Christianity or Mahayana Buddhism)
- A person goes to a (potentially infinite?) chain of purgatories after they die - one's karma increases or reduces time served in purgatories
- Heaven exists, "hell" is when a soul spends indefinite time in purgatories
