Note 314 — Chapter IV · MARKET DAYS
Reading edition
E. Henrici, Lehrbuch der Ephe-Sprache, Stuttgart, 1891, pp. 59 sq. The names of the seven weekdays in the Ewe and Tshi languages are almost identical. See the lists in Henrici, op. cit., pp. 59 sq., and Ellis, Tshi-speaking Peoples, p. 218. The Ewe have borrowed from the Tshi not only the names of the weekdays but also the custom of giving to private persons names derived from those of the weekdays (Henrici, op. cit., p. 60).
