part from the twelve Zodiac signs which correspond to the ones used in the West, every day of the week is symbolized by an animal with one extra for Wednesday afternoon, which is an elephant without tusks while the morning is a tusked one. The others are the Galon or giant bird for Sunday, Tiger for Monday, Lion for Tuesday, Mouse for Thursday, Hamster for Friday and Naga or Dragon for Saturday. Letters of the alphabet are also assigned to certain days so that the first syllable of a person’s name indicates on what day he or she was born. Only good combinations of letters are used for the full name which may run syllables or words.
