periods of time

Rick,
The equivalent of E 'kilo-' is K "poni-", so why not use that on "vesya" ('year') to make "ponivesya" - 'millennium' instead of the bare numeric "ni-"?  Similarly, "potuvesya" for 'century' (and by extrapolation "posevesya" for 'decade').

Is "vesya" also to be used for other planets, as in "the Martian/Jovian/etc. year" (i.e., the periods of revolution of those planets)?

I've long thought that a good word for 'week' might be just "gavesya" (now "gaxesya").
