The Bjeheondians usually use the modern Trician solar calendar. The Mărotłite lunisolar calendar is used for getting the dates of Mărotłism-derived holidays.

Mărotłite calendar

The Mărotłite calendar is a lunisolar calendar.

One Trician solar year is about 357.08065278709064 Trician days, and one Trician lunar month is about 30.58122882574347 Trician days long; hence months in the lunar calendar usually have either 30 or 31 days. Twelve lunar months are about 366.97474590892164 days, which exceeds the solar year by 9.89409312183100 solar days. Hence approximately in a 3-year cycle, one of the months, Tslües II, placed right before summer solstice, is omitted or reduced to a half-month.

The twelve lunar months are:

  • Mingief ~ summer solstice (30 days)
  • Blesi (30 days)
  • Thmuach (30 days)
  • Căflan ~ autumn equinox, harvest season (30 days)
  • Stansa ~ beginning of winter (30 days)
  • Șĭdaf (31 days)
  • Bĭnur ~ winter solstice (31 days)
  • Noman (31 days)
  • Tănot (31 days)
  • Slăsyan ~ spring equinox, ~ planting season (31 days)
  • Tslües I ~ beginning of summer (31 days)
  • Tslües II (31 days; omitted in years 0, 4, 8, 12, 13, 17, 21, 22, 26, 30, 34, 35, 39, 43, 44, 48, 52, 56, 57, 61, 65, 66, 70, 74 mod 75, which are called tsuar șănărip defective years)
