The Dundulanyä calendar counts the 418-day Eventoan solar year (''naṃśāla''), divided into 14 months (''asānai'', sg. ''asāna'') of varying length (30 days on average), as well as a concurrent (not numbered) shorter cycle, called ''juñśätanä'' (from Lannä ''zunosä tanäy'' "count of days") of 216 days, which forms the basis of the "week" system, dividing that number of days into 18 "weeks" of 12 days each. | The Dundulanyä calendar counts the 418-day Eventoan solar year (''naṃśāla''), divided into 14 months (''asānai'', sg.

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 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: | |||
# '''raṇivu''' ('''r''') "morning"; the sixth hour (6r.0.00) is ''sonda tūnuḍu'' or ''sonda'' (literally "early call"); | |||
# '''mīmṛdauna''' ('''m''') "midday"; the sixth hour, noon (6m.0.00) is ''lalla dāvan'' "highest sun"; | |||
# '''saṃlallai''' ('''s'''), pl. tantum, "afternoon"; the sixth hour (6s.0.00) is ''ṭheba tūnuḍu'' or ''ṭheba'' "late call"; | |||
# '''anuśamvīrä''' ('''n'''), pl. tantum, "before-sunset"; the sixth hour (6n.0.00) is ''śanu'' "sunset" | |||
# '''śusva''' ('''ś''') "evening"; the sixth hour (6ś.0.00) is ''prācikha'' "last offering", i.e. closure of dinner; | |||
# '''okṣṇi lalēni''' or '''okṣṇīrä''' ('''k''') "growing night"; the sixth hour (6k.0.00) is ''tiḫa'' "midnight"; | |||
# '''lalēni''' ('''l''') "night"; the twelfth hour (10l.0.00) is ''hāreṇe'' (e-stem) "dawn". | |||
Each ''garaṇa'' is divided into four timeframes called ''railai'' (singular ''raila'') - about 10.8 Earth minutes - further divided into 30 (26<sub>12</sub>) units known as ''nartī'' (singular ''narti'') - a little less than 22 Earth seconds each.<br/> | Each ''garaṇa'' is divided into four timeframes called ''railai'' (singular ''raila'') - about 10.8 Earth minutes - further divided into 30 (26<sub>12</sub>) units known as ''nartī'' (singular ''narti'') - a little less than 22 Earth seconds each.<br/> | ||
