Patch to the date file to correct the spelling of the thirteenth month name.
When I recommended names of months for the Hebrew (Hillel II) calendar, I used
John Walker's recommendations from fourmilab.ch. Sadly, I credited Mr. Walker
with knowing far more Hebrew than he actually knows. Specifically, he made
reference to a month that he called "Veadar" or "VeAdar" as the thirteenth
month in Hebrew leap years. This is not correct. "VeAdar" means simply "In
Adar." The real name of that leap-year month is "Adar Beth," which literally
means "Adar 2."
This will require a quick patch to all the language files, except for Hebrew,
which has the correct spelling already.
