High Elven Calendar
Weeks
The High Elven month is seperated into weeks based on the phases of the moon.
In High Elven the names themselves are composites of the phase of the moon, and the number of days in the week. For example; Croîtuor is derived from croître ("to increase/grow") and quatuor ("quartet") and can be translated to "The Growing Quarter" or "The Crescent Quarter".
The weeks ending in "-our" last four days, the week ending in "-ette" lasts five.

Very interesting system! :D Small note, for the week you would say "Première" instead of "Premier" as week is feminine (you've already put "seconde" as feminine already)
Thank you! That makes sense, I'll fix that!
