!!! Overview [1]
[{$pagename}] is a unit of [time], used with calendars, which is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Moon; month and Moon are cognates.
The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such [months] (lunations) are synodic [{$pagename}]s and last approximately 29.53 [days]. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted [days] in relation to the Moon's phases as early as the Paleolithic age. Synodic [{$pagename}]s, based on the Moon's orbital period with respect to the Earth-Sun line, are still the basis of many calendars today, and are used to divide the [year].
!! Julian and Gregorian [calendar]s
The Gregorian calendar, like the Julian calendar before it, has twelve [months]:
