Source of version: 1 (current)

The Discordian Calendar / le kamlijda veldetri The Discordian calendar divides the year into five seasons (commonly known as Chaos (__la kalsa__), Discord (__la tolsarxe__), Confusion (__la cfipu__), Bureaucracy (__la lujycatni__) and the Aftermath (__la jalge__) ) of 73 days each. Every four years, an extra day (St. Tib's Day / __la tib noi vrude__) is inserted between Chaos 59 and Chaos 60. The Discordian calendar defines a week as having five days, named Sweetmorn(__la titcer__), Boomtime (__la bumtem__), Pungenday (__la pynjdei__/__cpinydei__), Prickle-Prickle (__la kilkil__) and Setting Orange (after the Five Elements). Chaos 1 is always Sweetmorn, Chaos 2 Boomtime, The Aftermath 73 Setting Orange(__la canci narju__), etc. St. Tib's Day is none of the five days of the week. The Discordian calendar's year 0 (notionally the time of the Original Snub) is known in the Gregorian calendar as 1166 BC; alternatively, the Gregorian year 0 (notionally the birth of the Jewish mystic Yeshua ben Yosef) is known as 1166 YOLD in the Discordian calendar. The year known in the Gregorian calendar as 2001 is known as 3167 in the Discordian calendar. Alternate translations / suggestions are solicited.
