A '''''gorahyan''''' (<dni>gorayån</dni>) is a form of public clock found in [[D'ni]], particularly [[Bevin]] and other [[D'ni neighborhood]]s. There is also a [[Relto page]] that adds a clock to an [[explorer]]'s [[Relto]].

== Appearance ==
The clock is composed of a sphere, held at an angle in a semi-meridian mounting and raised on a pillar or stanchion like a globe. Around the globe's equator is marked with the [[D'ni numerals]] from one to twenty-five, representing the 25 "bells", or ''[[D'ni time#partahvo|partahvotee]]'', of the [[D'ni time|D'ni day]], with a dot midway between each numeral. The zero bell is represented by the "single digit 25" (&nbsp;<dni>|</dni>&nbsp;) symbol. A downward-facing magnifying lens is affixed to the pillar as well, allowing observers to see the current ''partahvo'' as marked out on the globe, and the globe rotates clockwise as viewed from the front.

Before the [[fall of D'ni]], the bells were marked by actual chimes. However, if the ''gorahyantee'' were the source, the mechanism is no longer functional.

== Accuracy ==
The ''gorahyantee'' in the D'ni neighborhoods keeps proper{{contested|reason=DayLength does not match the exact yahr duration}} 30-hour days, but the clocks are presently approximately 11 hours and 36 minutes off of actual Cavern Time based on explorers' observations in September of 2018.

The ''gorahyan'' in Relto is broken, and does not keep time.

== Terminology ==
It is unclear whether the term "''gorahyan''" only applies to these clocks, or if it can be applied to other timekeeping devices such as [[D'ni watch|Aitrus's watch]], [[Gehn's watch]], the clock-like device in the middle of [[Ahnonay]] or the [[tahvo timer]] in the Ahnonay workshop.
