Zaheer,
I found your overview over the Hijri calendar quite interesting - several details I wasn't aware of.
One question: Do you happen to know the meaning and the origin of the word "Hijri"? I only knew this calendar as the "Islamic calendar", and wasn't aware that that wasn't the official name.
TIA, Hilmar.
