Words used by Voltarans to describe a year or week are entirely different and if you ask them why they go to church on Dondas, it isn't entirely their fault that you now have spit in your face.
Variations to all pronunciations may occur due to characters' regional accents or tendencies towards malapropisms. These are the pronunciations according to a King's English accent and my own decisions for words I made up.
