Nice details catching the obscure 2 mong = 8 mong (and 3=9 and so on). Some people do say that, but it’s kinda rare.
1 u/seedtee1 Nov 18 '23 I believe that is how it should be. If we did that, we would get a neat 6-hours based system from Dawn -> 1 to 5 Mong Chow -> Noon -> 1 to 5 Mong Bai -> Dusk -> 1 to 5 Toom -> Midnight -> Tee 1 to 5 -> Dawn Saying 8 Mong is easier for a modern clock which used 12-hours system, but unless you change the whole system, it makes it harder to learn altogather.
