Looks like someone took the existing entry epagomenal and copied it over without making the necessary modifications. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 16:48, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
.. and that seems to be just a synonym of epagomenic. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:51, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For whatever reason, google books:epignoma and google books:epagomena are both getting hits. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:34, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
None of the hits for epignoma seem to be relevant, though. I can't find a single hit where it's being used to refer to a set of intercalary days. There seems to be (or once to have been) a genus called Epignoma, and the Greek ἐπιγνώμη (epignṓmē, forbearance) as well as the hapax legomenon ἐπιγνώμα (epignṓma) (apparently the title of some sort of official) are mentioned, but that's it. The two words aren't even related; epignoma has the root of γιγνώσκω (gignṓskō, I know), while epagomenal has the root of ἄγω (ágō, I lead, bring). —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 18:04, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm assuming the original user just made a spelling mistake - deleted. SemperBlotto (talk) 08:50, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
