Similarly, in Greek, the term δεκαπενθήμερο (dekapenthímero), meaning "15 days", is used. The Hindu calendar uses the Sanskrit word पक्ष "pakṣa", meaning one half of a lunar month, which is between 14 and 15 solar days.
A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, that is approximately as long as a natural phase cycle of the Moon; the words month and Moon are cognates.The traditional concept of months arose with the cycle of Moon phases; such lunar months ("lunations") are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days, making for roughly 12.37 such months in one Earth year.
The formal lunar day is therefore the time of a full lunar day-night cycle. Due to tidal locking, this equals the time that the Moon takes to complete one synodic orbit around Earth, a synodic lunar month, returning to the same lunar phase. The synodic period is about 29 + 1 ⁄ 2 Earth days, which is about 2.2 days longer than its sidereal period.
Because evening out the lengths of the months is part of the rationale for reforming the calendar, some reform calendars, such as the World Calendar and the Hanke–Henry Permanent Calendar, contain a 30-day February. The Symmetry454 calendar assigns 35 days to February, May, August, and November, as well as December in a leap year.

One form of the mnemonic is done by counting on the knuckles of one's hand to remember the number of days in each month. [1] Knuckles are counted as 31 days, depressions between knuckles as 30 (or 28/29) days. One starts with the little finger knuckle as January, and one finger or depression at a time is counted towards the index finger knuckle ...
