Ooops, sorry made a mistake - Dzu"Fa"Ri is the day *after* the
solstice. But anyway, if the lunation boundary falls on Rokbeigalmki
New Year's Day, then both the Jalág immediately preceding it and the
Ghalúb immediately following it are full months. I guess. :P I never
really thought about that before. But i guess it makes sense.
