The classifier for counting weeks is -shūkan. It is combined with the Chinese
               numbers. There is no naming classifier for weeks. Note the sound change (s →
               ss) with one, eight and ten and the choice of alternatives for four, seven, and
               nine.

               The naming classifier for months is -gatsu, and when naming dates, the month
               precedes the day. The counting classifier is -kagetsu. Both are combined with
               the Chinese numbers. Note the sound change /ka/ → /kka/ with one, six, eight,
               and ten.
