The '''canonical''' Lojban calendric system(s) are discussed in [http://www.opoudjis.net/lojbanbrochure/lessons/less5days.html] ; they are number-based. (January = ''pavmast.'', Sunday = ''nondjed.'')

----

The chief holiday is Logfest, held on a weekend in July on various dates.

----

There are exactly twelve color ''gismu'' (see: [http://members.tripod.co.uk/lojbanlinks/skari.html]), various attempts to match up the regular months of the year have been proposed. E.g. in the beginners' stuff in this order:

blabi, grusi, xekri, xunre, crino, blanu, pelxu, cicna,

nukni, zirpu, bunre, narju

le'i mastycme

la labmast.    la ri'ormast.    la nukmast.

la rusymast.    la blamast.      la zirmast.

la xekmast.    la pelmast.      la burmast.

la xunmast.    la cicnymast.    la najymast.

----

The days of the week have been correlated to metals, &amp; other sets of mnemonic or mythological names... E.g.

we can translate our existing weekdays back into

planets &amp; then into the lojbanic names for their traditional

metal correspondences:

le'i jefcme

monday= la rijdei

tuesday= la tirdei

wednesday= la magdei

thursday= la tincydei

friday= la tukydei

saturday= la nisydei

sunday= la slodei

the traditional assignment of colors to planets gives:

monday white = la labdei

tuesday red = la xundei

wednesday gray = la rusydei

thursday blue = la bladei

friday green = la ri'ordei

saturday black = la xekydei

sunday yellow = la peldei

----

Another proposal uses the signs of the zodiac for months and the Japanese and Korean names for the days of the week. See [[Phrasebook#Dates_and_Times|Dates and Times]] in the Phrasebook.
