The way in which the Khasis calculate their week is different from the West. The Khasi week has eight days and this results from the calculation of market days. There are different markets which exist in the Khasi hills. These markets are the Ri Lum Pnar (Jaiñtia/ Pnar hills), Ri Lum Mihngi (Eastern hills), Ri Bhoi (Bhoi region) and Ri Lum Sepngi (Western hills). There is also a proper arrangement for the markets considering the fact that they occur in different areas. The second slide is the sequence of the different market days.
In the sequence of market days, we see that the day of Їewduh is also the day of Laban/ Lyngkyrdem in Ri Lum Mihngi, or Borkhat/ Nongingi in Ri Lum Pnar, Umsohphria in Ri Bhoi and Rangblang/ Maweit in Ri Lum Sepngi. The question is how do we know which market day falls on which day?
If we know one market day it will be easy to know the other market days too. For example, on the 1st of January 2022 it was Їew Mawlong/ Nongpoh. The 2nd of January 2022 will be the Їew Rynghep/ Jowai/ Їawmusiang and so on and so forth.
