The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages. Gb8-22 and Gb8-23 were identical, bis sextum, and Gb8-27 was at the 1st day before the Kalends of March. There were 2 (bis) days needed for the Pleiades.

... In north Asia the common mode of reckoning is in half-year, which are not to be regarded as such but form each one separately the highest unit of time: our informants term them 'winter year' and 'summer year'. Among the Tunguses the former comprises 6½ months, the latter 5, but the year is said to have 13 months; in Kamchatka each contains six months, the winter year beginning in November, the summer year in May; the Gilyaks on the other hand give five months to summer and seven to winter. The Yeneseisk Ostiaks reckon and name only the seven winter months, and not the summer months. This mode of reckoning seems to be a peculiarity of the far north: the Icelanders reckoned in misseri, half-years, not in whole years, and the rune-staves divide the year into a summer and a winter half, beginning on April 14 [4-14] and October 14 respectively. But in Germany too, when it was desired to denote the whole year, the combined phrase 'winter and summer' was employed, or else equivalent concrete expressions such as 'in bareness and in leaf', 'in straw and in grass' ...

Itzam-Yeh (7-Macaw, Ursa Major) defeated 28 May, 3149 BC (148) First 3-stone place 21 May, 3114 BC (141) Creation of our present world 13 Aug, 3114 BC (225) Hun-Nal-Ye became the sky 5 Febr, 3112 BC (36) 21 May, 3114 BC - 13 August, 3114 BC = 225 - 141 = 84 (= 12 * 7) 21 May, 3114 BC - 5 February, 3112 BC = 542, which 'happens to be' the sum of 365 days and 6 * 29½ nights. At the time of rongorongo the day May 28 (148, *68) was where Aldebaran rose with the Sun and 77 days later, in August 13 (225, *145) the Sun had reached the Knot (Ukdah) with the Full Moon at the Foundation (Bunda).

When Aldebaran at the time of the Bull had passed through the rays from the Sun (and having returned to visbility 11 + 69 = 80 days after the solstice) it should have meant a new 'fire' (year) had been alighted high up in the sky.

... the Palenque scribes repeated Creation again and described it as 'it was made visible, the image at Lying-down-Sky, the First-Three-Stone-Place'. Then we learned that five hundred and forty-two days later (1.9.2 in the Maya system), Hun-Nal-Ye 'entered or became the sky' (och ta chan). This 'entering' event occurred on February 5, 3112 B.C. The act of 'entering the sky' is recorded on another extraordinary painted pot.

This pot depicts one of the Hero Twins (One-Ahaw in the Classic texts and One-Hunaphu in the K'iche' Popol Vuh) and a great bird who is trying to land in a huge ceiba tree heavy with fruit. This mythical bird is Itzam-Yeh, Classic prototype of Wuqub-Kaqix, 'Seven-Macaw', of Popol Vuh fame. In that story, in the time before the sky was lifted up to make room for the light, the vainglorious Seven-Macaw imagined himself to be the sun. Offended by his pride, the Hero Twins humbled him by breaking his beautiful shining tooth with a pellet from their blowgun. This pot shows One-Ahaw aiming at the bird as he swoops down to land in his tree. As Itzam-Yeh lands on his perch, the text tells us he is 'entering or becoming the sky'. This particular 'sky-entering' is not the one mentioned in the Palenque text. It is the final event that occurred in the previous creation before the universe was remade. Before the sky could be raised and the real sun revealed in all its splendor, the Hero Twins had to put the false sun, Itzam-Yeh, in his place. If the date on this pot corresponds to that pre-Creation event, as we believe it does, then Itzam-Yeh was defeated in 12.18.4.5.0 1 Ahaw 3 K'ank'in (May 28, 3149 B.C.). After the new universe was finally brought into existence, First Father also entered the sky by landing in the tree, just as Itzam-Yeh did ...

Since then the stars had moved ahead in the Sun calendar due to the precession and this sign of a 'new fire' had therefore moved from MARCH 25 (84) to "April 17 (107 = 84 + 20 + 3). The Chinese 'winter solstice' could therefore have referred to the 'year in straw', when nothing grew and when life was absent in Mother Nature because the Sun was at the other side of the equator.

"April 17 (107) was 23 days later than day 107 - 23 = 84 ("March 25) - corresponding to the date for spring equinox in the Julian calendar. And on Hawaii the effigy of Lono had completed its circuit after 23 days:
