Gorean Chronology
************************
`
Goreans seem, for the most part, not too particular about the manner in
which they tell time. The Wagon Peoples and Torvaldslanders, as well as
the Tribesmen of the Tahari, the Black Tribes of the jungled south, and
the Red Peoples, depend almost entirely upon their interpretation of the
various positions of the sun, the moons and the stars to keep track of such
matters.
`
Oddly enough, Gorean chronometer run backwards, their spinning hands rotating
in a counter-clockwise direction.Perhaps this is because Gor is the Counter-Earth,
this also filters down to reading books.Instead of reading and writing from
left to right, Goreans do it from left to right on the first `
line,then on the next line they continue from right to left,then back to
left to right on the line after that,and so on,alternating the direction
of the text of each line.
`
Listed below are the standard Gorean measurements for time, along with their
Earth equivalents.
Ihn is equal to 1.35 Earth seconds
Ehn is { 80 Ihn } equal to 108 Earth seconds
Ahn is { 40 Ehn } equal to 72 Earth minutes
Day is { 20 Ahn } equal to 24 Earth hours
Contasta is a means of determining chronology = Earth form of AD {Anno Domini}
