	Standard T'vaqi units of time are based on subdivisions of the average length of the day. The length of one day is referred to as a ''pav''. Ten ''shavi'' make up each day, and ten ''hoshavi'' make up each shav. The length of a hoshav can be further broken down into ten ''sqovi'', which are finally broken down into ten ''hosqovi'' (or ''breaths''), the shortest common unit of time. The length of a ~~hosqovi~~ is approximately 8.64 seconds.		Standard T'vaqi units of time are based on subdivisions of the average length of the day. The length of one day is referred to as a ''pav''. Ten ''shavi'' (2h 24m) make up each day, and ten ''hoshavi'' (14m 24s) make up each shav. The length of a hoshav can be further broken down into ten ''sqovi'' (1m 26.4s), which are finally broken down into ten ''hosqovi'' (or ''breaths''), the shortest common unit of time. The length of a hosqov is approximately 8.64 seconds.

			One week in T'vaqi passes every ten days. Historically, the number of weeks since the Second Unification of T'vaqi was the most common way of expressing time over a long period (for example, the date 3-9 53 PC could be represented by the number 10677.3). However, the ''q'so'ho'' (meaning ''cycle''), a length of time lasting 36 weeks, was also introduced to the UUS for the purposes of defining the term lengths of [[List of Grand Magisters\|Grand Magisters]]. The length of 36 weeks (360 days) was chosen as 36 is the smallest product of two different perfect squares, and happened to align with yearly seasons. The first ''q'so'ho'' began on 1-2 244 TT, the date of the Second Unification. Conveniently, this made converting to the Haracalnde very easy, since the Haracalnde year is the exact same length as a ''q'so'ho''.
	Standard T'vaqi time has no concept of months or years, and is instead measured in weeks since the Second Unification of T'vaqi. One week passes per ten ''pavi''.
