The most common way to reconcile the two is to vary the number of days in the calendar year.

Spanish lexicographers glossed it as dias baldios, "wasted days".The interpretation is that the Mexicas considered the days unlucky, and most activities (including even cooking) were avoided as far as possible during the nēmontēmi period; however this interpretation is contested by Indigenous people.
