by_o seven_o several_a name_n as_o sunday_n monday_n tuesday_n etc._n etc._n and_o to_o distinguish_v they_o in_o the_o calendar_n there_o be_v 7_o letter_n appropriate_v and_o set_v in_o

52_o week_n and_o one_o day_n so_o that_o as_o the_o year_n begin_v with_o a_o set_v before_o new-year's-day_n so_o it_o end_n with_o a_o set_v before_o the_o last_o day_n and_o the_o year_n begin_v

the_o year_n and_o the_o 2_o time_n towards_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o february_n by_o interposition_n of_o the_o bissextile_a or_o intercalar_n day_n call_v bissextile_a because_o the_o 6_o of_o
