    the number of complete years, counted back from the last day of the period; the remaining initial stub, calculated using the basic rule. As an example, a period from 1994-02-10 to 1997-06-30 is split as follows: 1994-06-30 to 1997-06-30 = 3 (whole years calculated backwards from the end) 1994-02-10 to 1994-06-30 = 140/365
