Star system

Planet names in Phormatolidin: Sphytin, Alathoin, Phycodin, Chlorotricin (Hussmauch), Sterocythin, Tharofudin, Clypharin, Xantheromin

Planetary characteristics

1 HM year = 381.3668618 Earth days

1 HM day = 25.6323176 hours

357.0806527870906 days (ratio)

86400

357 days = 51 7-day weeks

leap day every 12.3988275678 years

months: 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29(30)

every 12 except: when the year is divisible by 372

perfect for clofabians

so the years 270, 520, 790, X40, 10E0, 1360, 1610, 1880, ... are not leap years

actually if the year is divisible by 130944=352*372 it's a leap year
