They measure time[67] by days, weeks, lunar months, and lunar
years; yet few can ascertain their age.
[Footnote 67: The hour is an indefinite term, and assimilates to
our expression of a good while; it is from half an hour by the dial
to six hours, and the difference is expressed by the word _wahad
saa kabeer_, a long hour; and _wahad saa sereer_, a little hour;
also by the elongation of the last syllable of the last word.]
