The Mel calendar is used in the fictional world of Kaldia. Your goal is to convert dates into the Mel calendar.

This calendar has 13 months of 28 days each, plus 1 or 2 extra days after the last month. A year that is divisible by 4 but not by 100, or divisible by 400 has 366 days, and other years have 365 (i.e. our leap year rules, but with years in the Mel calendar).

You should use the month and day name abbreviations:

months: dia vio lis gil ful dyu mel ral zan pal mik fav ruj

days: dia vio lis gil ful dyu mel ral zan pal mik fav ruj ser rav tan lin rez jil din ket len lax nen pin mat kun mir

The extra days outside of any month have the month name of myuxet (no abbreviation here), and the day names are axet and teems, respectively.

0 dia dia is 1988/11/30.

You can take the input date as a string or a (year, month, day) tuple; alternatively, for functions, the parameter can be in your standard library's date type. The output should be a space-separated string.

Test cases

1776-07-04 => -213 ral ket
1859-12-15 => -129 dia rav
1917-04-14 => -72 ful nen
1981-02-04 => -8 lis mik
1988-11-30 => 0 dia dia
1988-12-01 => 0 dia vio
1988-12-28 => 0 vio dia
2017-01-01 => 28 vio ful
2019-04-22 => 30 dyu lis
2019-11-30 => 30 myuxet axet
2019-12-01 => 31 dia dia
2021-11-29 => 32 myuxet axet
2021-11-30 => 32 myuxet teems
2089-11-30 => 101 dia dia
2389-11-30 => 400 myuxet teems

You should be able to handle dates from 1 AD to 9999 AD at least.

Try it online!

Generate a list of all the valid dates and then indexes the day of the year into that list.

Explanation

{                                                   }  # Anonymous code block
                                                     o*-726436  # Subtract some days from the input
  (.year,                               # Output the year
           [X]("...".comb(3))[^365]     # Then produce a list of all months/days
         (|                        ,
          |("myuxet"X <axet teems>))    # And the extra days
                                    [.day-of-year-1]   # And get the current date

Saved 4 bytes thanks to @Shaggy. +A lot more bytes due to bug-fixes. Takes months as 0-indexed numbers.

Japt does have built-in date handling, but it's not very good. Seriously, 34 bytes to initialize a date, then subtract days from it, and then calculate which day of the year it is?

Try it

ÐUVW;                Initialize date object with given inputs
f1Uf -726436         Subtract 726436 days; Store in variable 'U'

    \$\begingroup\$ Due to the (unnecessarily) strict output format, this should be "Japt -S". You can save 2 bytes by replacing both occurrences of 13 with D. I'll take another look in the morning (when I'm not down the pub, on my phone) to see if I can see any other savings but have a +1 in the meantime for beating Jelly by a significant margin. \$\endgroup\$

Jelly has no built-in date handling, so this falls back on the functionality within Python’s time module.

    \$\begingroup\$ "this falls back on the functionality within Python’s time module." Ah, smart! I was trying to make an answer in 05AB1E (also lacking date builtins), and although I was able to get the amount of days between 1988-11-30 and the input-date, it wasn't really useful since I need the date-difference (years, months, and days) instead of days-difference. I have done a few other date related challenges in 05AB1E in the past (i.e. this one and some derivatives). I might try again with part of the code as compressed Python, being inspired by you. :) \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 9, 2019 at 13:11

Takes input as a Day object.

This was pretty fun to write! Basic idea is to build a list of dates and index into it for the result. Function a takes a year and outputs every date in that year in chronological order. Function f expands on a concatenating them together for successive years starting at 0. The trick is that for dates before the epoch we need to traverse backwards starting from the year -1 so we pass a values -1,-2... and reverse each list individually before concatenating them together. Finally, in function f we calculate the number of days between the epoch and our date (converting it from Integer to Int) and index into our list, taking care to fix our index if it's negative.

EDIT: golfed it down (-14)

EDIT 2: golfed down the day/month names list (-1)
