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) | 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.

In official contexts in the Inquisition (as well as in Brono, Fathan, and iKalurilut), Bivarteloga diocese is in time zone LIL+2, while New Égélonía is noted as being in time zone LIL+2:16′08″<sub>12</sub>. | ||
Every hour is then divided in | Every hour is then divided (in an internationally agreed, Calémerian-wide, standard) in 60 (72<sub>10</sub>) timeframes called ''raila'' (pl. ''railai''), each one of about 54.6805 seconds of Earth; in common use in the Inquisition they are most commonly grouped into three double dozens (''danihælmāmya'', pl. ''-māmyai''), each one of 20 (24<sub>10</sub>) railai. | ||
'' | The next division, the ''namišoe'' (pl. ''namišenī''), is 1/40<sub>12</sub> (1/48<sub>10</sub>) of a raila, therefore about 1.8986 seconds of Earth. ''Namišenī'' then follow the normal duodecimal subdivisions: 12 ''(namišeni) māmendvāṭ'' (pl. ''-vaḍai'' - about 0.1582 seconds of Earth), divided in 12 ''(namišeni) nihælendvāṭ'' (about 0.0131 seconds), divided in 12 ''(namišeni) tildhaindvāṭ'' (about 1.0987 milliseconds), and so on. | ||
