The Ethiopian calendar leap year is every four without exception, while Gregorian centurial years are only leap years when exactly divisible by 400; thus, a set of corresponding dates will most often apply for a single century. As the Gregorian year 2000 is a leap year, the current correspondence lasts two centuries instead. [citation needed]
In that year, the Gregorian calendar's lack of a leap day will cause the Coptic month to advance another day relative to it [37] and it will run from 7 September to 11 September. Coptic leap years are not computed as divisors of four in that calendar's Diocletian era but occur in the year prior to the Gregorian leap year. [e]
Like the Coptic calendar, the Ethiopian calendar has a thirteenth month composed of five or six epagomenal days. Months begin on the same days as in the Coptic calendar but are named in the Ge'ez language. The six epagomenal days are added every four years on 29 August of Julian calendar, six months before the Julian leap day.

A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year) is a calendar year that contains an additional day (or, in the case of a lunisolar calendar, a month) compared to a common year. The 366th day (or 13th month) is added to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical year or seasonal year . [ 1 ]
The day Pagume 6 is the leap year day. Leap year day means the day recurs once in every four years. The number of days of four years is 1461 (=365.25*4). In the Ethiopian calendar system 1461 days is equal to the sum of 365 days of three ordinary years and 366 days of leap year (=365*3+366*1).
