February). After twenty-eight years the same letters return in the
same order. The dominical letters go backwards one day every common
year, and two every leap year; e. g., if the dominical letter
of a common year be G, F will be the dominical letter for the next
year. Called also Sunday letter. Cf. Solar cycle,

Sunday; also, the Lord's prayer. [Obs.]
