True or not, it's finally given me the means to remember which months have how many days.
Starting at the left, each knuckle and the space in between counts as one month.
Count all the way across and when you get to the end of your fist, start over (or carry over to the next fist)
Knuckle months have 31 days, months in between knuckles have 30 days (except for February)
Does khom and yon have meanings?
The rest of the month's name is based on what?
Both "-khom" and "-yon" means "come" or "arrival". Since our month names are basically a Zodiac in Hindu astrology, "Mokkarakhom" could be translated to "the arrival of Capricorn" (Mokkara/Makara) or April "Mesayon" is "the arrival of Aries" (Mesa).
