Although the duration of the ⚀timel is too fleeting to be perceptible, its unqual powers do fall within the range of human perceptions, starting with the ⚀unqua·timel (101z ⚀timels). This is equivalent to the pentcia·day (105z ⚀days), which comes out to (50/144)d of a second (0.42z=0.3472d seconds). In the past, dozenalists have dubbed this unit the "dovic" (short for "a dozen vics"). But perhaps we can find a nickname that is a little more intuitive. Note that this unit is a little over a third of a second, and therefore about the time it takes to blink an eye. Accordingly, Primel proposes to colloquialize this unit as the ⚀twinkling. So a dozen ⚀vibes make a ⚀twinkling.
