.... It is difficult to estimate accurately the length of a month. According to the European calendar, a month has thirty or thirty-one days; the synodical month (that was used by the Polynesians) has alternatively twenty-nine and thirty days; and a traditional month, based on lunar nights, has thirty days ...
