Base unit: hour
Submultiples: dh (5 minutes), ch (25 seconds), mh (~2 seconds), ssecond (shorthand for half a mh)
Multiples: dah (12 hours), day (shorthand for 2 dah)
08:20:14 can be written as 08.411 or 08.41:2
Pros:
* Easy pseudo-metric conversions
* Easily divided by 2/3/4/6/12
* Clock is read as is, quarter past 8 is 8.3h , half past 8 is 8.6h
Cons:
* Sseconds are slightly longer than seconds (1 ss = 1.041666... s)
* No clean way to refer to minute-like units (2 ch or 3 ch?)
* Requires two more symbols (X and E)
