Anur-sayet

Anur-sayet - the Count of the Masses - is the calendar used in most of Auto, and sometimes called the Sutoan Reckoning. It turns on the cycle of the rains in the central highlands and the resulting inundation of the Rania and the Delta. To many outsiders, the idea of a rainy season in southern Suto is ludicrous, let alone the summer 'dry' season, but the difference is substantial.
In winter, the low noonday sun warms the coast and the southern slopes of the mountains more than the jungle. Humid night breezes carry water off the ocean, and the warming mountains draw it into the highlands where it becomes heavier than usual rainfall, flooding the rivers and producing a never-ending flow of work for Rania-ket's Guild of Barricades.
In summer, the high sun heats the entire region equally. Humidity is high, but the rain is - relatively - slight, and tends to come later in the day, leaving the nights still thick with heat and moisture. This pattern is broken only by occasional summer storms of legendary violence.
The Anur-sayet consists of two interlocking calendars, the Sun's Walk and the Moon's Circle. The Walk tracks the solar year as a linear count of days, divided into years of 367 days each, and subdivided into 12 'sets' of 30 days each and a 7 day 'gap' at the end of each year. The walk never adds an additional intercalary, and is not connected to the seasons. The Circle is the lunar round of 364 days, divided into 6 great months of 56 days each, and one lesser month of 28 days. In addition, the conventional year is marked by the cardinal stations of the sun and the season days, moveable feasts dictated by the weather.
SETS OF THE SOLAR YEAR

1. Renewal
2. Sowing
3. Quicking
4. Sprouting
5. Blooming
6. Fruiting
7. Ripening
8. Harvest
9. Burning
10. Flooding
11. Gathering
12. Sheltering
13. Silence (7 intercalary days)

The days of each month are numbered, except for the first, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth and thirtieth, which are instead called the Fall, the Spring, the Flood, the Run and the Tide. The seven days of the Silence are named for the sacred animals of the Sutoan smoothfolk: Toucan, Serpent, Crocodile, Hippopotamus, Dolphin, Froghemoth and Basilisk.
Each solar year is given a name, traditionally assigned by the priests of Anur-ket on the day of Basilisk. In modern reckonings, each year is separately named by the priests in Anur-aket, Bofyr-ket and Rania-ket.
The days of each lunar month are numbered, from 0 (the new moon) to 27 (the last sliver of the old) and in the great months around again from 28 to 55. The full moon rises in the evening of day 15 and 43.
LUNAR MONTHS

1. Droak (froghemoth)
2. Kikakika (dolphin)
3. Tuc-Tac (toucan)
4. Saah (serpent)
5. Noroom (crocodile)
6. Bhaah (hippopotamus)
7. Azkest (basilisk)

The months are named for the ancient tutelary spirits associated with the seven sacred animals. The years of the Circle are not named, rather the lunar dates of each cycle are uniquely aligned with years and dates in the Walk.
