They have noted and named eight phases of the moon, namely: The one-quarter waxing moon, called "fis-ka'-na;" the two-quarters waxing moon, "ma-no'-wa," or "ma-lang'-ad;" the three-quarters waxing moon, "kat-no-wa'-na" or "nap-no';" the full moon, "fit-fi-tay'-eg;" the three-quarters waning moon, "ka-tol-pa-ka'-na" or "ma-til-pa'-kan;" the two-quarters waning moon, "ki-sul-fi-ka'-na;" the one-quarter waning moon, sig-na'-a-na" or "ka-fa-ni-ka'-na;" and the period following the last, when there is but a faint rim of light, is called "li'-meng" or "ma-a-mas'."
