Line 4:
Days of the month correspond to phases of the moon. Each month begins with a new moon (mun len), then progresses to the waxing crescent (mun lili kama), then the first quarter (mun kipisi open), then the waxing gibbous (mun suli kama), then the full moon (mun suli), then the waning gibbous (mun suli tawa), then the last quarter (mun kipisi pini), then the waning crescent (mun lili tawa). These create periods of 3–5 days, and if more precision is required, the days of each phase may be numbered (e.g. mun lili kama nanpa wan, mun lili kama nanpa tu…). Each day begins when the sun sets. The new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter may be used to split the month up into weeks if so desired.
