Degree

A degree is the term used on Istria to refer to a 24 hour period of time. Precise methods of timekeeping for shorter periods of time are particularly important because "night and day" on Istria last months. Sundials are ineffectual, because the "high noon" of either sun lasts for nearly a full year, and during a full third of this time, there is no moving sun in the sky that would cause a change in the direction of shadows.

There are six degrees in a week, and their names are Sunya, Eka, Dvi, Tri, Catur, and Shash.
