jayd in chapter 16: "and i find i have another long cycle of nothing before me" (reads as if a cycle is like a day)

zan in chapter 18: "we walk for many cycles" (also reads as if a cycle is about a day)

jayd in chapter 22: "she visits at least once every cycle" and "i will give birth in one hundred and thirty cycles" (yet again, sounds like one cycle = one day)

vashapaldi in chapter 26: "there are sixty heartbeats in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour, six hours in a period, six periods in a day, six hundred days in a cycle."
