Good luck with using intercalate. David Lyanda,

Yes, intercalate is a fine word, and I am plotting to find a use for it. Still, it's different from "interfingering," which sounds like something I shouldn't mention in front of my mother.

If you are interested, another fine term that means the same thing is intercalate. Calate shares a heritage with the Latin for calendar and call, in connection with the "calling in of accounts on the first day of the month," or so writes Michael Welland on his blog Through the Sandglass. When we insert an extra date into a month, as in February, we are intercalating. Cheers, David Lyanda,
