Burmese zodiac zodiac employs eight signs in a seven-day week, with each sign representing its own day, cardinal direction, planet (celestial body) and animal; it is known as the "Mahabote zodiac". The zodiacs, with slight variations, are also found in Sri Lanka and Thailand. While the eight signs are the most prevalent in modern Burmese zodiac, the zodiac officially also recognizes a ninth sign called Ketu ( ), which rules over all of the signs. The same sign also appears in Sri Lanka and Thailand under the same name. Ketu's sign is a mythical Animal of Five Beauties called pyinsarupa ( )
Inanimate whose pronoun for non-personal antecedents, as in: The earliest known objections to the inanimate "whose" date from the late 18th century. In 1764, the English grammarian Robert Lowth disapproved of the inanimate "whose" except in "the higher Poetry, which loves to consider everything as bearing a personal character". The English James Buchanan in his "Regular English Syntax" of 1767 considered inanimate "whose" an incorrect construction that occurs "in the lower kind of poetry and prose", but accepted it in "solemn poetry" when used for personification. In his "Plain and Complete Grammar" of 1772, Anselm Bayly accepted use of the inanimate "whose".
