Untranslated from what? German? English? Portuguese?  I know you mean 
English, but I support stepping away from the imperialism of English, 
even if it is just far away to make Sunday jaj wa'. (But Monday as 
jaj wa' is better. It's an ISO standard.)

I also really really like the idea of days of juljaj maSjaj etcetera, 
despite being in complete agreement with the wisdom of SuStel and 
lojmIt tI'wI' nuv regarding making up our own stuff and pretending 
it's real. I want it both ways! Couldn't we have kinda unofficial 
nicknames for the weekdays, like Canadians have for our money? 
"penny" "nickel" "dime" "quarter" "loonie" and "toonie" aren't 
stamped anywhere on the coins. The mint doesn't call them that 
--although I think you can find they've caved to loonie on their 
website-- but everyone knows the names. So when you're speaking 
formally it's "twenty-five cent piece" or "one dollar coin" or DIvI' 
Hol Hogh jaj cha'DIch, but just between you and me when SuStel and 
the Klingonist formerly known as charghwI' aren't looking, I'll 
accept maSjaj with a grin.
