NAMES AND NUMBEES OF THE YEARS. 



9 



The second month— Uo— begins with 8 Kan ; when we reach 1 3, which 

 is now Muluc, we must follow it with 1 Oc, and so on to the end of the 

 year. The last day of Cumhu in this case will be 9 Akbal and the last of 

 the five intercalated days 1 Lamat; it follows therefore tliat the first day of 

 the next year will be 2 Muluc. If we run through this second year in the 

 same way, commencing it with 2 Muluc followed by 3 Oc, 4 Chuen, and so 

 on, we shall find that the third year will begin with 3 Ix; continuing this 

 process we ascertain that the fourth commences with 4 Cauac, the fifth with 5 

 Kan, the sixth with 6 Muluc, the seventh with 7 Ix, the eighth with 8 Cauac 

 the ninth with 9 Kan, the tenth with 10 Muluc, the eleventh with 11 Ix, the 

 twelfth with 12 Cauac, the thirteenth with 13 Kan, the fourteenth with 1 

 IMuluc, the fifteenth with 2 Ix, and so on. From this we see that no year, 

 after the first, commences with a day numbered 1 until thirteen have been 

 completed, thus forming a period of 13 years, or as it is designated, "A 

 week of years" or "Indication." By continuing the above process we shall 



find that no year will again commence Avith 1 Kan until 52, (or 13X4,) 



are completed.
