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. \ No newline at end of file
