Dutch term or phrase: \"schrikkeljaar\" versus \"schikkeljaar\"
Can someone explain the difference to me between a "schrikkeljaar" and a "schikkeljaar", and if possible also how to translate them into English?

This is what I have so far:

schrikkeljaar = leap year
schikkeljaar = "century leap year" aka "end-of-century leap year"
