Word origin · etymology
English descriptive calendar phrase; Tibetan technical term lhag.
Berzin uses lhag for a doubled lunar date. The translation is contextual: the glossary also records other meanings for the same transliteration, so it should not be expanded automatically in unrelated passages.
