While one readily understands the concept of masikam specifically related to tithi, I am not able to fully understand the significance of the oona masikam. It is not directly related to tithi but to some vague range of allowable dates in and around the 27th, 45th, six months and a year. Could experts guide us: what is the purpose and significance of this oonam, why do we have such an imprecise method of choosing a day for it when everything else about sraadha karyams is so precise, and is it of higher importance than even the monthly masikams, and if so, why, and what are the prayoga differences between a oona masikam (say 6 monthly), and a masikam which may occur just two days later?

Ounm calculation like this
From the death date
27 days
45 days ( 45 to 49)
Because of any janma natcharam or Friday or Tuesday
Should not come
171 to 180 days 6 th month
Same procigers
341 to 355 days Ounm before Varsa Abithagam
Same procigers

Why this Ounm ??
The death sole it's take to travel 365 days like a calander
In this days this are like a check post need to pay the paynalti
That is 27,45,6th month and
Ouna Abithagam
