    How does Haabʼ work?

    +

    The Haabʼ is a cycle of 18 months of 20 days each, counted from 0 to 19, plus 5 extra days + at the end of the year called the Wayebʼ.

    +

    The 18 normal months are named Pop, Woʼ, Sip, Sotzʼ, Sek, Xul, Yaxkʼin, Mol, Chʼen, Yax, Sakʼ, Keh, Mak, + Kʼankʼin, Muwan, Pax, Kʼayabʼ, and Kumkʼu.

    +

    The days of each month are counted from 0. So a year would start at 0 Pop, followed by 1 Pop, etc. The + month of Pop ends at 19 Pop, which is followed by 0 Woʼ. The pattern continues until 19 Kumkʼu, after + which we have 0 Wayebʼ. The last day of the year is 4 Wayebʼ.

    +

    Note that in the traditional Mayan system, the Haabʼ cycle repeats, but the iterations (“years”) + are not numbered. Years were implemented in this version to allow the exact screen to + be identified.

    What's so special about this version?
