As far as i had understood the Sunstop it lasted for hours/days/weeks, but not longer.
Maybe i am wrong, but the sources doesn´t give any clou that it was longer than that.

I agree that you can´t count "days" when the sun has stopped, but you can count using other things.

If the sunstop lasted more than 4 weeks women would have noticed.

If the sunstop lasted more than some "month" women would have noticed (because toddlers started to crawl, or crawling babies would start to try to walk.

If the sunstop lasted years most people would notice bacause smaller children grow older/bigger.

If the sunstop lasted more than a generation someone would have counted at least the number of generations.

Me too, but then I suppose no one knows how long it was because the Sun had stopped...

I don't recall, does "The Fortunate Succession" shed any light on this matter?
