Dates are followed by letter FR, SR or TR, denoting first, second or third revolutions. For instance, 863 SR would be the year 863 of the second revolution. Centuries are abbreviated as "CFR", "CSR", etc. So, the current century is 11th CTR, which stands for "11th century of the third revolution". It can also be written as "11th century TR". In a sentence, revolutions and their ordinal numbers are typically not capitalized: "first revolution".

While in English such a system would pose a problem, since many ordinal numbers start with the same letters (first, fourth, fifth, etc.), the calendar's numerals are in [[Mandae]], which uses separate letters for each of the ordinal numbers up to twelve. Thus, the dantrian calendar might run into problems only after the twelfth revolution.
