: Prior to the Acit El calendar (the modern Myth one) which
: became widely used at the start of the Wind Age, the
: Cath Bruig used a calendar in which each year had an
: individualized name, probably (guesswork) derived from
: astronomical phenomenena--Flint Deer, Eagle Falling
: Sun, and so on.
I would postulate that the years are named after the Mayan calendar-cycles; In fact, I DID postulate this, back in this post:

: (This all comes from GURPS--except the bit about how they
: named their years, which is theory. However they did
: it, it was a standardized and easily duplicable
: process, since the Heron Guards have been able to keep
: figuring out the old-style name of the year even in
: this modern period.
Based on the above, I would say there are 360 years in the Heron calendar-cycle (20 x 20, minus the twenty double-entries, as we never see Five Coyote Coyote, etc). So One Crocodile Flower could have been initiated in 431 A.E., or 791 A.E, or 1151 A.E, or 1511 A.E, etc...
