I don't think Greg has written on this. I think this calendar originated among the Doraddi, and is probably used in Fonrit (and probably Maslo).
The original Genertela box had some information on time-telling, and the Kralori calendar.

The coastal cities presumably use the Malkioni calendar. The inland storm barbarians use the Theyalan calendar IMO.

1) What are the days of the week called?
Stone-day, "Chieftainess"-day, Gata-day, Witch-day, "Goddess"-day, Pamalt-day
CHIEFTAINESS-DAY: Note that among the modern Doraddi there are no female chieftains. Nonetheless, this word exists, if only to refer to this day of the week.
GODDESS-DAY: insert for the word "Goddess" the name of the local land goddess. i.e., in Jolar it is termed Nomiama-day.
2) What are the week names?
In Jolar, they were just called First-week, Second-week, etc. No doubt they are called something different elsewhere.
3) Are the seasons spring, summer, autumn, winter or something else?
Yes, along the coasts. Some people in Jolar call them Rain, Sky, Shadow, and Storm,corresponding to the first four elements (not counting Earth, which is omnipresent).
