I [Haswell] have read one Peguan book in which the days of the week are numbered, instead of being named. I have never heard this in conversation ; but on inquiry am told that they do sometimes use numbers beginning with Sunday. [{p021begin}]
UKT 130501: Unknown to the Christians, both Burmese and Mons are steeped in Astronomy as a means of setting the Lunar calendar to the Solar calendar, for forecasting the times of ocean tides for riverine navigation in southern Myanmarpré, for forecasting the times of eclipses, etc. -- all astronomical events. Based on astronomical events, they believed that a particular day, month, and asterism in which a person was born can be used to predict the events in his or her life. Thus, Astrology is a part of the Science of Astronomy which has its beginning since the days of the Vedic rishis, or even further past. I am wondering the origin of dividing a circle into 60 equal parts which the modern mathematicians are still using. Such sciences are basic to the discipline of spherical trigonometry, for rounding the square, etc., which the popular science-fiction writers attributed to the ancient space-men who had visited the Earth and had domesticated the intelligent apes -- the Homo Sapiens.
I have given above the numbers used in the astrological charts for the names of the days of the week. Notice, Saturday can be numbered either as "0" or "7".
UKT 130501: For large numbers, instead of giving a series of zeros, I have given the mathematical index notation of 10°, 10¹, 10², 10³, ... , or the modern computer notation E0, E1, E2, E3, ... . See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation 130501
