Goreans seem, for the most part, not too particular about the manner in which they tell time. Oddly enough, Gorean chronometer run backwards, their spinning hands rotating in a counter-clockwise direction. I suppose this sort of thing is to be expected, it being "counter-earth" and all. Here, then, are the standard Gorean measurements for time, along with their Earth equivalents:
Ihn: Gorean Second; equals 1.35 Earth seconds Ehn: Gorean Minute (80 Ihn); equals 108 Earth seconds Ahn: Gorean Hour (40 Ehn); equals 72 Earth minutes Day: 20 Ahn; equals 24 Earth hours
Gorean Ahn Urth Hour Gorean Ahn Urth Hour 1st Ahn 12:01-1:12 AM 11th Ahn 12:01-1:12 PM 2nd Ahn 1:13-2:24 AM 12th Ahn 1:13-2:24 PM 3rd Ahn 2:25-3:36 AM 13th Ahn 2:25-3:36 PM 4th Ahn 3:37-4:48 AM 14th Ahn 3:37-4:48 PM 5th Ahn 4:49-6:00 AM 15th Ahn 4:49-6:00 PM 6th Ahn 6:01-7:12 AM 16th Ahn 6:01-7:12 PM 7th Ahn 7:13-8:24 AM 17th Ahn 7:13-8:24 PM 8th Ahn 8:25-9:36 AM 18th Ahn 8:25-9:36 PM 9th Ahn 9:37-10:48 AM 19th Ahn 9:37-10:48 PM 10th Ahn (noon) 10:49 AM-12:00 PM 20th Ahn (midnight) 10:49 PM-12:00 AM |
