A Guide to Eorzean

[ Syhr'd been fortunate enough to Echo the information correctly enough to infer, she believes. So she's going to do this for others there. ]

Eorzea is my world. So I figured I'd give a quick guide so you lot can understand what's being said.

Ilm seems to translate to inch.
Fulm would be foot.
Yalm is yard.
Malm is mile.

We use bells, not hours.

Our year is about three hundred eight-four suns.
Suns are days.
Moons are months.
An epoch is a measurement of twelve years, as opposed to a decade.

We say nameday instead of birthday.

Onze instead of ounce.
Ponze instead of pound.
Tonze instead of ton.

I can answer any questions you have, if you have them.

I could as well ask why yours is so short.

It only seems to drag on because you're used to the shorter one.
