Every icon, and the rule behind it

The count, from flow to tevilah

What you recorded

Onset (ra'iyah)

A flow. After a tevilah it opens a count carrying the full minimum days; inside an open count it restarts the seven with no new minimum.

Stain (kesem)

A stain (kesem). After a tevilah it opens a count of its own; inside an open count it costs one day and the hefsek may be made the same day.

Hefsek taharah

The hefsek taharah, made before sunset. The seven clean days count from the day after it; the first one made governs the count.

No hefsek — not attempted

A day that could have held a hefsek and closed without an attempt. Recorded by hand, or written in automatically once the day has passed; each one moves the earliest hefsek a day on. Days before the minimum ended never get one, and neither does any day from the hefsek actually made onwards.

Bedikah that prohibits

A bedikah that was not clean. During the seven it starts them again; a new hefsek may be made the same day.

Bedikah — clean (not a hefsek)

A clean bedikah that is not a hefsek. Recorded for the completeness of the record; it counts nothing on its own.

Medical examination that prohibits

A medical examination that prohibits. It restarts the count: the seven run only from a hefsek made after it.

Mikvah

The tevilah. It closes the run — and it is what gives the next flow its full minimum, so it should always be recorded.

Gave birth

A birth, one glyph per baby in its colour. The yoledes minimum applies — seven days for a boy, fourteen for a girl — and you answer in how many weeks to expect the hefsek; the daily question waits for that day.

Pregnancy loss

A pregnancy loss. It carries the yoledes minimum like a birth, by the sex where it is known.

Onos to observe

Days the next flow is anticipated, projected from the record: the same day of the Hebrew month, the same interval, the thirtieth day, and the thirty-first of the Chavas Daas. Or Zarua guards the onah before a veses. On each of these onos separation is kept and the bedikos are made; three repetitions establish a veses kavua, which keeps projecting until it is uprooted. An onset that lands beside an anticipated onah leaves it in place — both are drawn.

Estimated ovulation

An estimate only: about fourteen days before the next expected onset, reckoned from the last onset and its own interval (thirty days where none is known yet). A family-planning aid, not a halachic day — nothing is counted from it — and it is not drawn while a pregnancy stands or the pill runs. It can be turned off in Settings.

The count

Days before hefsek

The days before a hefsek is possible, boxed from the onset with its day as day one. Only a count that follows a tevilah carries the full minimum.

Earliest hefsek

The first day a hefsek can be made — an expectation, drawn with the line beneath it, and gone the moment a hefsek is recorded.

Seven clean days

The seven clean days, boxed from the day after the hefsek to the seventh.

Expected bedikah

The bedikah a day of the seven expects — lechatchilah twice, morning and before sunset. Day one and day seven are the bare minimum, without which the tevilah cannot be made; how much of the rest to be shown and reminded of is set under Settings → Halacha. It yields to the record: a day whose bedikah is written down shows the bedikah itself.

Mikvah night

The expected mikvah night, the evening after the seventh clean day — an expectation like the others, gone once the tevilah is recorded.

Expecting and nursing

Expecting and nursing are seasons rather than events, drawn as a line through their months. While they stand no veses is established and the beinonis is not asked; through a pregnancy the line beats from hakaras ha'ubar for forty-two weeks.

On the grid

Nights of separation are ruled along the edge of the onah they belong to. The diagonal splits every day into its two onos — the night that begins it and the day that follows.

The pill
