Telling Time with Dovahzul?

I've been wondering how one would tell time in Dovahzul. Would it be like counting normally like "It is sed nenahrkmen"? With the o'clock it might be kind of tricky. I don't know, thoughts?

This is a good question.  One possible way might be "thirty-eight past five", or "seven past midday".  Translated, "eln ahrk men sed on hen", and "zos on hefsul".

In French it is something like "it is 9 hour". 

So, "Los nen omaar"

Half past nine hour, "Los hef on nen omaar".

Half of nine hour (aka 8:30), "Los hef nen omaar".

Or just leave off the "hour" at the end, being implied.

I think the 24 hour clock would work better IMO.

What about measuring it in hours, saying "first hour", meaning 1:00 AM to 1:59 Am, to the "twenty-fourth hour", meaning "11:00 PM to midnight"? Or in half-hours?
