1. | Every 12 years Enderi is double from 3 to 6. For precision, the last year of every third yén was shortened by three days, (thus omitting this month) rather than lengthened (the last year of a yén was always a 'leap' year). This was a rare occurrence, happening only once every 432 years. |
Early on the first and middle of every month, the civil and military officers, dressed in their uniform, meet in a clean, spacious, public hall. The superintendent who is called Orsehtano calls aloud, "stand forth in files.” They do so, according to their rank: he then says; "kneel thrice, and bow the head nine times." They kneel, and bow to the ground, with their faces towards a platform, on which is placed a board with the Emperor's name. He next calls aloud, "rise and retire." They rise, and all go to a hall, or kind of chapel, where the law is usually read; and where military and people are assembled standing round in silence.
The Orsehtano then says, "Respectfully commence." The Quetano Istyarion (orator), advancing towards an incense-altar, kneels; reverently takes up the board on which the maxim appointed for the day is written, and ascends a stage with it. An old man receives the board, and puts it down on the stage, fronting the people. Then, commanding silence with a wooden rattle which he carries in his hand, he kneels, and reads it. When he has finished, the Orsehtano calls out, "Explain such a section, or maxim, of the sacred edict." The orator stands up, and gives the sense. In reading and expounding other parts of the law, the same forms are also observed.

Tai lamerlyë imlë, ávalyë i hyeren.
What you do not wish for yourself, do no do to others.
-Mindarúcina
There is government, when the prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father is father, and the son is son.
(Analects XII, 11, trans. Legge)
Cementarinë said, "The vassal of Elenarin has been waiting for you, in order with you to administer the government. What will you consider the first thing to be done?"
The Master replied, "What is necessary to rectify names."
"So! indeed!" said Cementarinë. "You are wide off the mark! Why must there be such rectification?"
The Master said, "How uncultivated you are! The superior man (arseldë) cannot care about the everything, just as he cannot go to check all himself!
If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.
If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.
When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish.
When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded.
When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot.
