About Fortnights
A fortnight = exactly 14 days = 2 weeks = 1,209,600 s. From Old English 'feowertiene niht' (fourteen nights), reflecting the Germanic custom of counting nights. Common in British, Irish, Australian, and NZ English for pay periods, rental cycles, and parliamentary recesses. The Moon's phase advances ~half a synodic month (≤14.77 days) per fortnight; spring and neap tides also cycle fortnightly. 1 fortnight = 14 d = 1,209,600 s.
About Millennia
A millennium (1 ka) = 1,000 Gregorian years ≈ 3.156 × 10¹⁰ s. Standard unit in archaeology and Quaternary geology: Neolithic transition ~10-12 ka BP; Last Glacial Maximum ~21 ka BP; Homo sapiens leaving Africa ~60-70 ka BP. Milankovitch cycles include the 41 ka obliquity and ~100 ka eccentricity cycle. EPICA Antarctic ice core spans ~800 ka. Precession completes ~26 ka. 1 ka = 1,000 yr.
