Notes:

  1. The cyclic leap year system predicts the vernal equinox to great precision, but is extraordinarily complex. At the first level (A), there are two cycles. In the five-year cycle, the first, third, and fifth years are leap years. In the seven-year cycle, the first, third, fifth, and seventh years are leap years:

    Cycle A5: 669, 668, 669, 668, 669

    Cycle A7: 669, 668, 669, 668, 669, 668, 669

    At the second level (B), there are five cycles, each consisting of four A cycles:

    Cycle B1: A7, A5, A5, A5 = 22 years

    Cycle B2: A5, A7, A5, A5 = 22 years

    Cycle B3: A5, A5, A7, A5 = 22 years

    Cycle B4: A5, A5, A5, A7 = 22 years

    Cycle B5: A7, A5, A5, A7 = 24 years

    The third level cycle (C) is 310 years long, consisting of the following sequence of B cycles:

    B5, B4, B4, B3, B4, B3,B3, B2, B3, B2, B2, B2, B2, B1

    Unfortunately, this C cycle does not repeat, so a new cycle would need to be devised after 310 years.

  2. This is one of several 22-month calendars.
