=== Months ===

Traditionally, months were defined by locations of [[Yakei]], [[Siwa]], and [[Evonir]] in the sky against the background constellations, specifically the 12 [[Great Birds]] located along ecliptic. A new month would begin any day that Yakei moved past the first major star in a Great Bird. Months are named using the combined 12 pseudomonth names. In modern times, months are named after the pseudomonth determined by the location of Yakei.
