This is not unlike the system on Cindu (Kash lang.)-- 464 days, 16 mos of 29
days each. (No allowance for leap years-- there probably should be....but
nothing is perfect!) However the Cindu day = 25 hrs. 18mins in our time (so
the Cindu year is actually 489 Earth days IIRC-- 1.34). I can convert from
one to the other, but it ain't easy for one who is math-challenged, and I'm
never sure the answer is correct....:-(((
