Nope, there would be 13 lunar months - 12 full ones (the 354-day 12-month lunar year) and a few leftover days to form the first (half-cycle) month of the previous year and the last (half-cycle) month of the present year. -Stephen (Steg) "is hugging trees something serious? i never know with you people!" ~ my friend n, confused by my treehuggerliness
