Exactly what I had a problem with. For the Saalangal the day starts at sunrise, like the Rokbeigalmki days do. Anyway, my idea was just to ignore all of that and just apporiximate the days. Like you said Jeffrey, no one reading the site will notice, i bet.

For my calendar, the leap year turned out to be this year (the year for the Saalangal is divisible by 4). Also, their year doesn't start at the same time of course, so days are probably off. The exact time isn't important to the Saalangal, and in fact they don't count by 12 hours, they count the working day by sunrise, midday,and sunset. They don't count time for the nights either.

Interesting way to handle this Jeffrey. Anyway i'm still working on my contribution... ____________________________ Today is: 3 Angi 4 Kalil 2 Angi
