I'm wondering if there is a shortcut term for "one-and-a-half weeks", perhaps a word like "sesquiennial" (one-and-a-half years).
Is there such a word? Sesqui-weekly? It sounds funny and wrong. Are there sesqui- terms for other date ranges?

Since a week is either 7 calendar days or 5 work days, how do you deal with the fractions?– John FeltzNov 22, 2016 at 17:06

The closest I can think of is "a week and a half", slightly shorter and more relaxed than "one and...". Not too many people use the sesqui- forms for anything in ordinary writing or speech.
