Amazing...the calendar starts on the month of November in the American calendar. The reason is that the Palauans based their calendar on the phases of the moon. During November, I think the new moon comes out. I'll research on it some more and index the results here. This shows that the Palauan calendar had only six months in a year. So, two years in Palau is equivalent to one year in the American calendar. In order distinguish which is which, the first six months are known as "ONGOS". The last are known as "NGEBARD". So, if you want to say the month of November for example, you'd say "Tmur ra Ongos"...the name of the month with the category its in. The month of May would be "Tmur ra Ngebard".

MAR - APR The last three days in March are not included with that month in the Palauan Calendar. During these three days, when a baby is born, he/she will always pee (sechemochem in Palauan). For the male boy, when he grows up, he will have a large penis and will always fool around with women. For the female, a large vagina. Hey...I'm not making these up!

MAY When you're young, your ears are always infected. You learn things fast but you forget them easily. Forgetful and always imitating others.
JUNE When you're young, your always naughty....so when you grow up, you always complain. You forget things easily and you remember things easily. You always want details of anything and always analizing things.
