A lunar calendar is a calendar oriented at the moon phase.

This is normally done by having a month which corresponds to a lunation so that the day of month indicates the moon phase. If a calendar tracks the seasons, it is also a lunisolar calendar.

Since there are about twelve lunations (synodic months) in a solar year, this period (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as lunar year, corresponding to thirteen sidereal months (355.18 days).

Barely possible because the earth and the moon are changing speed because of tides and basically the earth is slowing down a few seconds a century. So a million years ago the earth was turning faster and moon was orbiting at different speed so there might have been 30 shorter days for the moon to get from new moon to new moon. All of which is moot because in the time humans have been on earth, the times of the lunar quarters have been so close to a week as to establish the week. The only reason for looking at a lunar month of 30 days is to make it fit with a year of 360 days exactly and make the 12 months invented to match the zodiac and 12 being convenient and there is no point to that but wishful thinking and some vague hope for a perfect creation.

A lunar month is the number of days needed for the moon to circle the earth. This is measured from full moon to full moon, which is approx 29.5 days.This results in a lunar year being 354 days, 11.25 days shorter than the solar year.

12 x 28 = 336 days.

An anomalistic month is the Moon's orbital period measured from perigee to perigee - the point in the Moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth. An anomalistic month is about 27.55 days on average.
