The names of the month exists in the Argonian language (Jel): Vakka, Xeech, Sisei, Hist-Deek, Hist-Dooka, Hist-Tsoko, Thtithil-Gah, Thtithil, Nushmeeko, Shaja-Nushmeeko, Saxhleel & Xulomaht.

But is there, anywhere, a list of the 7 days of the week in the Jel language. I searched but cannot find any.

During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

    UESP has a list of all the Jel words used in the games: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Jel

    It doesn't include any for the days of the week, so it looks like if they do exist they haven't made it into any of the games.

    I thought this was going to be an appreciation post for a different Argonian each day of the week

    Each day of the week is just like the others when you're in tune with the Hist.

    But each month is different because of seasons and stuff.

    Since Jel (and argonian culture in general) does not have a concept of time, as existence is seen as just one continuous moment, it would make sense that days of the week aren't important like they are with other races. Also, their culture makes a big emphasis on change, so it makes sense that the changing of the seasons, the weather, and cycles of life, etc., are considered and given names.

    Since we escape Coldharbour with theProphet on 4 Rain's Hand 2e582 (the game was released on 4 April 2014).

    so for an Argonian it is ...

    Today is the fourth day of the Hist-Deek cycle (or Rain's Hand), in what the other races of Nirn call the year 2e582.
