The Kzmr calendar (Kzmr: hvmk'asdti) is a system of two interlocking calendars, one lunar and one solar. Traditionally, the lunar aspect of the calendar is used for festivals whereas the solar is used for agricultural purposes.
Solar calendar
The Kzmr solar calendar, known as hvmk'asdti sphk, is a 365-day cycle divided into eight months and four additional days which roughly correspond to the solstices and equinoxes. In the months leading up to a solstice day the days are counted backwards; for instance, the first day of Hškanrh is called Hškanrh 45.
| Season | Month | Days |
|---|---|---|
| Summer (th) | Mfath | 46–1 |
| Prsith | ||
| Bstath | 1–45 | |
| Fall (hnu) | Mfahnu | 45–1 |
| Prsihnu | ||
| Bsta'sþbhi | 1–45 | |
| Winter (sv) | Mfasv | 45–1 |
| Prsisv | ||
| Bstasv | 1–45 | |
| Spring (nrh) | Mfanrh | 45–1 |
| Prsinrh | ||
| Bstanrh | 1–45 | |
In years that are equal to 0, 4, 8, or 13 modulo 17, an additional day after Prsith is added called Ptnaprsithd.
Lunar calendar
The Kzmr lunar calendar, known as hvmk'asdti ngk, does not actually attempt to reflect the astronomical year, but rather is a 148-day cycle divided into five periods lasting roughly a lunar month.
| Name | Days |
|---|---|
| Ng Kžri (red moon) | 30 |
| Ng Žrxci (gray moon) | 30 |
| Ng Krn (black moon) | 29 |
| Ng Hšri (blue moon) | 29 |
| Ng Hrhi (white moon) | 30 |
Weekdays
The nine days of the Kzmr week are named after the nine classical planets visible to xeric Kaneeds, and are as follows:
- Ngkahvm (day of the Moon)
- 'Tdk'uhvm (day of Mercury)
- Sgrk'uhvm (day of Venus)
- Sphk'ahvm (day of the Sun)
- 'Hhgrgkihvm (day of Mars)
- 'Hntkuhvm (day of Vesta)
- Fbrgkyhvm (day of Jupiter)
- 'Zhk'ahvm (day of Saturn)
- 'Knk'ahvm (day of Uranus)
