<wI-> vIlo' 'e' vIHech. SoHvaD mISmoHbogh meq vIyaj. In my mind, I meant
that we were leaving camp. I felt that it was implied by context since it
is a short story.

qechwIj Dayaj'a'. I don't think that I am using an idiom here. Since there
is a word for week and that a week has some number (the exact number is
left to the reader) of days, I have specified an unnumbered amount of days
at the end of the week. I suppose I could have said *weekend*, but I felt
that the general concept of the final day of the week would be clear enough
for this context.
