Subject: Naming conventions
Let me survey the naming conventions.
Communities call these months: - Adar Rishon and Adar Sheni (First and Second) - Adar Aleph and Adar Bet (Hebrew letters) - Adar I and Adar II (Roman numerals)
Some say "Adar Gadol" and "Adar Katan" — the big and the small — but this is less common.
For encoding, I now propose letters: 06a and 06b. This parallels "Aleph" and "Bet" and avoids the separator ambiguity.
