Jean, Tunggulametung would know this, but you may not:-
the root word for both "tanggalan" and "tumanggal" is tanggal, which means both "date" and "the beginning of the lunar month". It would be very easy to make a small error in composition.
from about 1982 through into the 1990's ---maybe '94 or '95--- one of my closest friends in Solo was a gentleman named Agus Irianto, also known as Agus Warangka. He was the grandson of a one of the all time great m'ranggis---I forget who--- and a very talented tukang wrongko himself.
He only ever called this type of wrongko a wulan tumanggal, and I never did hear anybody in Solo call it anything else.
Maybe in some other place it is known as a tanggalan wrongko, or maybe we are looking at another of the discrepancies that we can find in EK. I don't know.
But anyway, to avoid argument, I think I'll just call these things "calendar wrongkos" from now on.
