Oh! Actually, I've made a list for my own purposes.
[Because adapting her own lexicon to human's smaller time units took some time, even if she hasn't needed the list for a while. Allura pulls out her Gear and shows Fluttershy.]
They're roughly the same, save that Altean ticks are slightly longer than seconds, so that lengthens doboshes and vargas- "minutes" and "hours"- accordingly. And then we divide "quintants" or "days" into twenty vargas, one "week" or Spicolian movement- or just movement- is five quintants rather than seven, and then our deca-phoebs or years are divided into ten phoebs rather than twelve.
