Each yahr contains 25 pahrtahvotee; accordingly, each gahrtahvo contains five pahrtahvotee. This is also the unit of time that is referred to as "''n''th bell" in the [[Book of Ti'ana]]. The clocks found in many D'ni neighborhoods also use this division of time. Older official descriptions of the D'ni system did not mention this unit, and merely described the gahrtahvotee as being divided into 25 tahvotee. Most explorer-written D'ni clock programs still rely on this older description. |
