The word for "o'clock" is kzp. The only exception is when saying "1:00", when the word xU is used instead of xd;W:

• ,uz;L kzp = 2:00
• gjpndhU kzp = 11:00
• xU kzp = 1:00

To say "quarter past"or "three-quarters past", add -V the appropriate fraction to the hour. Ex:

• vl;Nlfhy; kzp = 8:15
• Ie;NjKf;fhy; kzp = 5:45

To say "half past", add -miu to the hour. Ex:

• ehd;fiu kzp = 4:30

The word for "minute" is epkplk;. To give the exact time, follow the hour with kzp and the minute by epkplk;. Ex:

• gdpuz;L kzp ehw;gJ epkplk; = 12:40
• xU kzp ,UgJ epkplk; = 1:20

Each day of the week has a name, but when referring to a particular day (Ex: "On Sunday, we..."), the suffix -fpoik is added to the day's name. When adding -fpoik to QhapW and jpq;fs;, the words change slightly.
