> modulo the weekend In more observant Christian countries, the weekend was taken over by religion. In Italian/French/Spanish, Sunday is domenica/domingo/dimanche, from Latin "domine", "of the Lord"; and sabato/sabado/samedi is from "shabbat". Btw, I don't know why you skipped "moon day", which is a direct translation of the Latin lunae dies (hence lunedì/lunes/lundì). That survived even better than the others.
