There are two strategies used in the Chlouvānem-timekeeping countries in order to realign both the true and bureaucratical lunar days and also the lunar year (408 days) with the solar one (418): | There are two strategies used in the Chlouvānem-timekeeping countries in order to realign both the true and bureaucratical lunar days and also the lunar year (408 days) with the solar one (418): | ||
* In the first case, every four lunar years an additional lunar day (which is always a rest day) is added after the last day of the last ''līleñchlæriāvi''; this day is called '' | * In the first case, every four lunar years an additional lunar day (which is always a rest day) is added after the last day of the last ''līleñchlæriāvi''; this day is called ''lališlān'' (or, formally, ''lališire lānicunih'' - both meaning “new lānicunih”). This procedure, however, gets in the way of the following realignment: | ||

In the second case, every 42 years in even cycles (see below) the last lunar phase skips its twelfth and thirteenth days (as this causes a full rest day to be erased, the eleventh day, normally a half-rest one, becomes a lone full rest day). This has the effect of making the last day of that lunar phase also the last day of both the lunar and the solar years — the exact difference between the lunar and solar year being of 9.7142 days, making a 408-day difference every 42 years. Even cycles are those where the additional lunar day is added 10 times starting from the fourth year; odd cycles those where it is added 11 times starting from the second year. | *

The last time both years ended on the same day was in 4E 9ᘔ (118<sub>10</sub>), fifteen years ago. | The last time both years ended on the same day was in 4E 9ᘔ (118<sub>10</sub>), fifteen years ago. |
