The Lufkan calendar was a lunisolar calendar, which ran on a 649-year cycle with 239 leap months and 126 years leap days. 236 of the leap month years were arranged in a 11-year cycle of 4 leap months and the remaining three were arranged irregularly in the 649-year cycle. 118 of the leap days were arranged in the 11-year cycle and the remaining 8 were arranged irregularly in the 649-year cycle.

Later the this calendar was replaced with a totally different calendar which was a lunar calendar and grouped months into fives, which came in a large number of different varieties. It followed a 245-month cycle in which 115 months had 29 days and 130 had 30 days, giving a mean month of 29.530612 days.
