The four ''garaṃlānai'' work roughly like the AM/PM system, thus e.g. hour 17 (19<sub>10</sub>) is normally called hour 3 of the evening.<br/> | The four ''garaṃlānai'' work roughly like the AM/PM system, thus e.g. hour 17 (19<sub>10</sub>) is normally called hour 3 of the evening.<br/> | ||
Time zones, in all areas with the Chlouvānem timekeeping system, depend on the Eastern/Chlouvānem standard for longitudinal measure, which uses as its prime meridian the one of Līlasuṃghāṇa, capital of the Inquisition. It should be noted that, as the Western system uses the meridian of Mánébodin, capital of Ceria, as its prime one, in the case of two cities on the same meridian but using the two different standards, the one using the Eastern system is (in Chlouvānem time) 30<sub>12</sub> | Time zones, in all areas with the Chlouvānem timekeeping system, depend on the Eastern/Chlouvānem standard for longitudinal measure, which uses as its prime meridian the one of Līlasuṃghāṇa, capital of the Inquisition.

Every hour is then divided in 160 (216<sub>10</sub>) timeframes called ''tetacunih'' (pl. ''tetacuneyai''), each one of about 18.2292 seconds of Earth; they are grouped in twelve ''tetacuṃlāṇa'', each one of 16 (18<sub>10</sub>) tetacuneyai. | Every hour is then divided in 160 (216<sub>10</sub>) timeframes called ''tetacunih'' (pl.
