The (solar) day (''pārṇam'') is the base measure of time, which is divided in 28<sub>12</sub> (32<sub>10</sub>) hours (''garaṇa'') — note that there is a separate term for “day” as the part of the 28-hour day with daylight, namely ''chlærdhūs''. One Calemerian day lasts about 35 hours on Earth.<br/> | The (solar) day (''pārṇam'') is the base measure of time, which is divided in 28<sub>12</sub> (32<sub>10</sub>) hours (''garaṇa'') — note that there is a separate term for “day” as the part of the 28-hour day with daylight, namely ''chlærdhūs''.

These hours are divided in four groups called ''garaṃlāṇa'', each one made of eight hours and corresponding to different times of the day.

They are ''yartām'' (morning), ''bhraṃšai'' (afternoon), and ''prājamnā'' (evening), and ''laliā'' (night) — they may be referred to either with these simple names or ''genitive + garaṇai'' (''lalei garaṇai, yartāmi garaṇai'', …). | ||
The first hour of ''yartām'' - the morning - is the first one of the whole day (a stark contrast to the Western calendar, where the day begins at midnight and - traditionally - at dusk); every last hour of each garaṃlāṇa has a specific name, respectively ''lalla hånna'' (high[est] sun — colloquially just ''lalla''), ''nīhenā'' (sunset), ''kutīkṣaire hånna'' (lowest sun — colloquially just ''kutīkṣayā''), and ''ājva'' (dawn). For ''lalla'' and ''kutīkṣayā'' there are also the older terms - still used in some areas - ''chlærdaniāmita'' (halfpoint of the day) and ''laliādaniāmita'' (halfpoint of the night) respectively. | The first hour of ''yartām'' - the morning - is the first one of the whole day (a stark contrast to the Western calendar, where the day begins at midnight and - traditionally - at dusk); every last hour of each garaṃlāṇa has a specific name, respectively ''lalla hånna'' (high[est] sun — colloquially just ''lalla''), ''nīhenā'' (sunset), ''kutīkṣaire hånna'' (lowest sun — colloquially just ''kutīkṣayā''), and ''ājva'' (dawn).
