Calendar Proposal

I propose a calendar similar to the Hermetic Lunar Week Calendar with a different naming schema.

Days of the week are named after the corresponding ordinal numbers in Latin, i.e. first, second, third etc.

Day names
Number	Name
1	Primus
2	Secundus
3	Tertius
4	Quartus
5	Quintus
6	Sextus
7	Septimus
8	Octavus
9	Nonus

Weeks are named according to the phase of the moon and the number of days in the week. The first part of the name corresponds to the moon: maius—major or waxing half, unus—whole, minus—minor or waning half, or nullus—null. The second part is a cardinal number from six to nine: sex, septem, octo or novem.

Week names
week	6 days	7 days	8 days	9 days
1	Maiusex	Maiuseptem	Maiuocto	Maiunovem
2	Unisex	Uniseptem	Uniocto	Uninovem
3	Minusex	Minuseptem	Minuocto	Minunovem
4	Nullisex	Nulliseptem	Nulliocto	Nullinovem

Months are named using ordinal number prefixes and luna—moon.

Month names
Number	Name
1	Primaluna
2	Secundaluna
3	Tertialuna
4	Quartaluna
5	Quintaluna
6	Sextaluna
7	Septimaluna
8	Octavaluna
9	Nonaluna
10	Decimaluna
11	Undecimaluna
12	Duodecimaluna
13	Tredecimaluna

Below is a sample month based on the 30-day month of Izumi in the year 5016 of the Hermetic Lunar Week Calendar (October 31, 2016 to November 29, 2016 in the Gregorian Calendar).

Nonaluna 5016
	I	II	III	IIII	V	VI	VII	VIII
Maiuocto	10-31	11-01	11-02	11-03	11-04	11-05	11-06	11-07 13:51
Uniseptem	11-08	11-09	11-10	11-11	11-12	11-13	11-14 07:52	-
Minuseptem	11-15	11-16	11-17	11-18	11-19	11-20	11-21 02:33	-
Nulliocto	11-22	11-23	11-24	11-25	11-26	11-27	11-28	11-29 06:18

Monday, November 14, 2016 in the Gregorian Calendar is Septimus Uniseptem Nonaluna in my proposed calander, or the seventh of full-seven in ninth-moon.
