e.v.

What is e.v.? It stands for era vulgaris, Latin for "the common era." In the Thoth dating system (the Thelemic calender uses this system), the years in the usual format (such as 1999, 2000, etc.) are often referenced as the year e.v. Since the Thoth year is denoted by 22-year cycles, the "regular" year is often denoted as such.
