There are 12 months per year. Each month is 25 days long; split into 5 weeks. Each week is made up of 5 days. Then between each month is a five day week called the “Passing Hand”, used to separate one month from the next. At the end of the year, there is one more week separating the old year from the new one called the “Waiting Hand”.

((But remember the actual number of days in a Gorean year is only 300 days, the other 65 days are in passing hands and the waiting hand.))
