Yeah, I know I need to get some fractions in there, I'm just trying to figure out one thing at a time.
At present, I'm working with a 354-day year and a 22-day month, which gives an 11-year lunar-solar cycle. If I make them non-integers, is it going to be possible to insert "leap days" in such a way that the 11-year matchup doesn't get thrown off? I know it would be possible to just ignore the discrepancy and use the precession as another, longer cycle, but I really don't want that.
I need to see a real-world example of this, but I can't find a calendar that works this way.
And yes, this is for conworlding. Right now I'm sort of puzzling over how to give you what I have on the writing system. It seems excessive to hand you the whole dictionary (which isn't "complete", but it is fairly large)... maybe just the base characters, with examples of how the combinations work?
