===The 13th month===

The 13th month is a period of five days (in common years) or six days (in leap years) that is used to bring the total number of days to match the solar year as closely as possible. Because it is only five (or six) days long, it is also referred to as a week in some countries. As it does not match any particular month of the Gregorian calendar, it is referred to as '''''Feriae''''' in English. The 13th month is inserted at the end of the year, after the 12th month. Traditionally, it is a period of celebration before the New Year begins. Most countries have various kinds of festivities occurring in this period of time.  

In the '''traditional Laefevian calendar''', as used in {{w|Laefevia}}, the days of the 13th month are counted regressively, beginning on day 5 and ending on day 1, which is the last day of the year. In leap years, the leap day is inserted at the beginning of the month, which thus begins on day 6 (the days of the other months are counted normally, starting on day 1 and ending on day 30). By contrast, in Radestria and Riyana, the days of the 13th month are counted progressively, beginning on day 1 and ending on day 5 or day 6 in leap years. This is known as the '''Laefevo-Radestrian calendar'''.
