=== Name of the weeks ===
The English [[weekday]] name ''[[Thursday]]'' comes from Old English {{lang|ang|Þunresdæg}}, meaning 'day of Þunor', with influence from Old Norse {{lang|non|Þórsdagr}}. The name is [[cognate]] with Old High German {{Lang|goh|Donarestag}}. All of these terms derive from a Late Proto-Germanic weekday name along the lines of {{lang|gem-x-proto|Þunaresdagaz}} ('Day of {{lang|gem-x-proto|Þun(a)raz}}'), a [[calque]] of Latin {{lang|la|Iovis dies}} ('Day of [[Jove]]'; compare modern Italian {{lang|it|giovedì}}, French {{lang|fr|jeudi}}, Spanish {{lang|es|jueves}}). By employing a practice known as {{lang|la|[[interpretatio germanica]]}} during the [[Roman Empire period|Roman period]], ancient Germanic peoples adopted the Latin weekly calendar and replaced the names of Roman gods with their own.{{sfn|Simek|2007}}<ref>''Oxford English Dictionary'', s.v.
