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.
