Nnawɔtwe awieeɛ.
It should be noted that the Akan week ends on Kweurasiada and also begins on Kweurasiada, which is why it's called nnawɔtwe, literally 'eight days.'

Meda ase. But is there a concept like weekend, week ending, week final, as we conceive of it in krakka?

You should conceive of it as any time period that has a beginning also can have an end. Oftentimes the two are one and the same in a cycle like Dikènga.

I was already familiar with Kweurasiada beginning and ending the week. And the Dikenga cycle. I was asking (and to verify a point) how we bring foreign concepts into Kmtyw traditions, trying to equite them. Like Ntru=God.
