lunations's Usage Examples:

The moons of the civil year are also distinguished by their place in the cycle of sixty; and as the intercalary moons are not reckoned, for the reason before stated, namely, that during one of these lunations the sun enters into no new sign, there are only twelve regular moons in a year, so that the cycle is renewed every five years.

The civil year consisted in general of twelve months or lunations, but occasionally a thirteenth was added in order to preserve its correspondence with the solar year.

The lunations are estimated with much greater precision.

Twelve lunations, therefore, form a period of 354 days, which differs only by about 11 1/4 days from the solar year.

Computation from modern data shows that 235 lunations are 6939 days, 16.
