Recognize that it is an idiom to consider these days to be at
the "end" of the week. When I look at the calendar, Sunday is
at the BEGINNING of the week. Klingons might consider it the
MIDDLE of the week. We don't know. But they are indeed the
"resting days" of the week. I agree with pagh on this one.
