 The Eventoan day is about 34.8 Earth hours long, and there is no uniform standard to divide it among the various parts of the planet. The Dundulanyä divide the day into 48 (40<sub>12</sub>) subdivisions called ''garaṇai'' (singular ''garaṇa''), each one about 43.5 Earth minutes long. The day is, for timekeeping and time expressions, divided starting at sunrise into seven periods, called ''gūsai'' (literally "cuts", sg. ''gūsa''), the first six of six ''garaṇai'' each and the last one of twelve ''garaṇai''.
-All seven ''gūsai'' are named, and the last hour of each one has a special name:
