Deficient leap system?[]
The leap year system is not clear. Does this calendar follow Gregorian leap years and/or rules? Does it follow the occurrence of the winter solstice? Are the years listed one-time or recurring? What/when is a "First Day" and a "Last Day"?
I made assumptions that the leap rules are recurring, i.e. that they represent modulo cycles; that the First Day is intercalary at the beginning of Decari; and that the Last Days are intercalary at the end of Novari. Given an epoch of 21 December 1300 Gregorian, this calendar is currently about 11 months ahead of the season. EDIT: I see that the definition of "Day" is sidereal, not tropical. While useless to inhabitants of Earth in practice, this would account for the deficiency. EDIT2: Since the mean solar year of this calendar is too long, if the epoch were truly 1300, it would be more than a month behind by now. The author's correlation of holidays only works if the calendars are synced around 2015.
- I don’t fully get it either. There is no documentation of this calendar outside this site apparently. It was added on the last day of 2015 by User:TySkyo, which would fit your observation. Crissov (talk) 21:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- I went ahead and added it to What Date Is It? using my assumptions. It's already running a little ahead since 2015 but I like to see weird clock times like 07:87.
