[Tlhingan-hol] Month sentences

[lojmitti7wi7nuv at gmail.com]

After a New Moon (the dark one), when the moon’s phase is increasing the size of the illuminated part of the moon each night, it is “waxing”. It continues to wax until a full moon, after which it “wanes”. So, the phases are typically called:

New Moon
Waxing quarter
Waxing gibbous
Full Moon
Waning gibbous
Waning quarter
New Moon

This falls under “Stuff I learned from an iPad app”.
