Nuim/Vocabulary

Clothing
While the above clothing is unisex, male and female clothing often differs in color and pattern. A complete outfit can consist of a maak, a wuni, a siknek, or a wuni and a siknek. Wuni is always worn with mira and siknek is always worn with mihip siknek. Paut and ruzhi can be added on top of any outfit, though one doesn't wear both both at once.

Day
Speakers of Nuim use the tides as their primary means of daily timekeeping. A child might be expected to be home by the beginning of kukhi or two people might arrange to meet during pelu.

Week
Nuim neither has words for the days of the week nor words for the week itself. What it does have is a floating 5-day period centered on today. If one needs to refer to a particular day, they must use the day of the month.

Month
With the exception of the above 4 days, Nuim refers to the days of the month with hazit. For example, the 2nd of the month is em hazit. Note the lack of a classifier. Em nep hazit means any period of 2 days, not the 2nd of the month.
