Comment #1: Culturally biased
Wuzzy (Thu Oct 31 08:03:09 2013)

What is defined as “weekend” is highly cultural dependent. Therefore
choosing “saturday” and “sunday” for this rather short lujvo is a
cultural bias.

Yes, but I had to enter a sense because there was already another word for
weekend. Saturday Sunday doesn't mean it can't be used for other sorts of
weekends.

I have added an additional sense: "weekly off-days".
