I found the answer to this on another web site. "Juma" is Arabic for "week". They count their days from their day of prayer which is Friday (Ijumaa). The day before their day of prayer (Alhamasi) is also recognized. The other days are counted from one to five. Apparently "mosi" is a variant of "moja", and "pili" means second.
