We investigate properties of a multivariate function $E(m_1,m_2,...,m_r)$, called {\it orbicyclic}, that arises in enumerative combinatorics in counting non-isomorphic maps on orientable surfaces. $E(m_1,m_2,...,m_r)$ proves to be multiplicative, and a simple formula for its calculation is provided. It is shown that the necessary and sufficient conditions for this function to vanish is equivalent to familiar Harvey's conditions that characterize possible branching data of finite cyclic automorphism groups of Riemann surfaces.
