    Feel like this post was just a reason to say one- and zero-index.

    It’s from Tyr, the Norse god. Originally closer to Tyr’s day, hence the odd spelling relative to the pronunciation.

    Likewise we have (W)Odin’s Day, Thor’s Day, Frida’s Day, and Saturn-Day. Of course there’s also the Sun’s day and the Moon’s day.
