"Later, speaking it—saying the days of the week for example—I felt that I had talked my way onto the pages of Finnegans Wake, where Joyce writes the days of the week as moanday, tearsday, waitsday, thumpsday, frightday, shatterday. In Pidgin, they are mande, tunde, trinde, fonde, fraide, sarere, sande."
~~ from The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the Pacific by Paul Theroux
