Note that, as it says here, the present of da:sh tæn is da:ræm, etc. This verb is a unique exception: it is used without the prefix mi- in the present.

I though Saturday was Yekshanbeh and Sunday was Dushanbeh. In the text is calls Sunday as Yekshanbeh. Is there an error in the text or do I have it wrong?
