One of the seven days that made up the week in the Shire, at the end of the Third Age. It came fourth in order, falling between Monday and Hevensday, and is comparable with modern 'Tuesday' (though following the order of days in the Hobbits' week, it was more directly comparable to modern Thursday). In origin it came ultimately from the equivalent day in the Elvish week, which was named Aldúya or Orgaladhad in honour of the Two Trees of Valinor.
