Note 583 — Chapter VI · LUNAR CALENDARS AND THE WEEK
Reading edition
Idem, Tshi-speaking Peoples, pp. 215 sq. The Ga tribes have an exactly similar mode of measuring time, though their names for the days of the week are not the same as those used by the Tshi. With both the Tshi and Ga the full moon marks the commencement of the third week of 7⅜ days and, with the Yoruba, the commencement of the fourth week of 5 days, in each case marking the lapse of half a month.
