  1. Thoukelphaophi (Before The Rain)
  2. Kelphaophi (The Rain)
  3. Kelphaophyr (The Rainbow)
  4. Koikelphaophi (After The Rain)
  5. Matbaya (Childhood)
  6. Mamshara (Adolescence)
  7. Mamhata (Adulthood)
  8. Marmada (Elderhood)
  9. Nābiskelpashons (Killing the Weak)
  10. Nābiskelpaoni (Killing the Average)
  11. Nābiskelepip (Killing the Strong)
  12. Nābiskelmutnābis (Killing the Immortal)
Years are counted in regnal and dynastic years, making the present year the 23rd year of the Pharaoh Menmātra, the ??th Pharaoh of the ??th Dynasty.
