The D'ni year was called a hahr, roughly equivalent to a solar (surface) year.
The D'ni people divided the hahr in 10 "months" (vaileetee) or 290 "days" (yahrtee).[1] The year started with the first day of the first month, Leefo 1, which corresponded to our April 20 or 21, depending on the year[2] and ended on Leenovoo 29. Each vailee was divided in 29 yahrtee.[3]
Each month was named after a number (see: D'ni Numerals) with the prefix of lee- and some alterations.[4]
- Leefo
- Leebro
- Leesahn

The anniversary of the opening of the Guild of Writers (Leevot 9[6]) was always a day to remember[7] but not one of the holidays.
The anniversary of the finding of the Book(s) of Birenni was celebrated by re-enacting the search for the boos by hiding fire marbles in homes and Ages for cildren to find. It was also a day that many chose to wed.[5]
