+Ujuian Timekeeping

+
+The amount of time that it takes for the Ujuian homeworld to complete 
+one rotation around its axis is called a xuhuj. Each xuhuj is 
+subdivided into 100,000 shaxu. For the purposes of conversion to 
+International System of Units (SI) a single shaxu is 0.7668 seconds 
+which makes the concept of an entire Ujuian day 76,680 seconds long or 
+21 hours and 18 minutes.
+
+A group of 10,000 shaxu is called a xumaj. Each xuhuj contains 10 
+xumaj. This converts to 2 hours, 7 minutes, 48 seconds.
+
+The amount of time that it takes for the Ujuian homeworld to complete 
+one orbital period is called an ux. Each ux is subdivded into 3 aith 
+which are 89 xuhuj long, except that every 4 ux there is a "dhula ux" 
+in which the 2nd aith is 88 days. That aith can be referred to as a 
+"dhula aith."
+
+This makes an ux 267 or 266 xuhuj long; either 26,700,000 shaxu or 
+26,600,000 shaxu. An aith is either 8,900,000 or 8,800,000 shaxu.
+
+In addition, the 25th and 75th ux in every suhub are also a dhula ux 
+(every 50 ux) even though these are not divisible by 4.
+
+A collection of 5 ux is called a thuksa.
+A collection of 20 thuksa is called a suhub.
+A collection of 10 suhub is a lusun.
+
+A hasashuvus is any consective period of 8 xuhuj.
+
+A specific time of xuhuj can be referred as being at so many xumaj and 
+then so many shaxu or as the total number of shaxu for the xuhuj. For 
+example, a meeting could be said to start at the 12,000th shaxu or 
+divide the number by 10,000 and say it's at xumaj 1.2 for short. The 
+86,500th shaxu could be referred to as xumaj 8.65. Use of the noun is 
+often left out when referring to a specific time of xuhuj as the use 
+or lack of the decimal provides the context as to whether the number 
+indicates shaxu or xumaj. This can also be used to refer to a length 
+of time.
