Really! I was having a hard time too. One of my options actually is
that the word Saturday or our seventh day may not have been
from "seven" or say Latin 'septm' but actually "day of Saturn".
And yes, I too have more the tendency to believe that there is
no 'seven' in Saturn (but just one of the options I test).
What do you think is the "Sa-" there in Saturn an s-mobile,
a 'pointing prefix' or the whole word "Saturn" was derived from other
name(s) of deit(y)/ies?
