i had nothing to do, and i counted how much wolfs living, by earthly standarts

so, i take 100 years of earth and convert it for hours, i got 876000 hours

later, i take 100 years of adastra and i got 693500 hours

wolves living for 300 years, it will be 2080500 hours. i convert it to earth years. and result: wolves live least 237,5 earth years...

its useless but i did it

I don't really get all these conversions people are doing, given that the lingua translates such that it provides the best understanding for the listener, presumably it's already in earth years???

Yes and no, from my understanding. The Lingua does translate an approximation that would fit our (human) understanding of abstract conceptions (time), but I think they were trying to convert it to Wolven years? Which wouldn't work though, since it was never explained how many days are in a year on Adastra, only that there are 19 hours in a day, IIRC.

Yes, but surely the Lingua wouldn't have given us the amount of time in Wolven years, precisely because we have no intuition of how long that is like Amicus would, hence my thinking that it's most likely already in human years
