Can you give the correspondence between the 210-day cycle and the Julian day number?
[edit] wewaran
while the definition of the Pawukon is perhaps correct in this article, but the rest of the content actually refers to one other term called "Wewaran". The "ten concurrent weeks" are collectively known as Wewaran, hence the part "Wara" in the name Eka Wara (for the 1-day week, Eka = one), Dwi Wara (2-days week), and so on. Actually I'm not too sure about calling this "wara" as "week" (see my next paragraph), but I can't find a more appropriate term.
Pawukon stems from "Wuku", which more or less means "week", or "the name of a week". For example, the first week (in the 210 days cycle) is called "Sinta", and the last week is "Watugunung". There are 30 weeks for the 210 days, so there are 30 wukus, from Sinta to Watugunung. These wukus start on Sunday (which is Redite; the "first day" in Sapta Wara).
I should very like to start an article (or stub) about Pawukon, but I'm not confident of my writing ability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nekudotayim (talk • contribs) 09:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
