My calculations for a lunar based timetelling system that I made in astronomy once while I was bored 
, my original idea was to reckon the synodic period of the moon with the sidreal period of the earth, it seems its possible if you reckon by quarter days.
synodic period of the moon - 29.5 days 59 half days 118 q. days
sidreal period of the earth - 365.26 days 730.5 hd 1461 q. days
1 hour = 45 min
4 hours = quarter day waxing/waning = 3 hours
8 hours= 1 Quarter Day = 6 hours
32 hours = 1 Revolution = 24 hours
4 Q Days = 1 Revolution
29.5 q days = quarter lune = 7 days, 9 hours
59 Q Days = 1 Nolune = 14 days 18 hours
2 Nolunes = 1 Lunar Cycle = 29 days 12 hours
118 Q Days = 1 Lunar Cycle
487 Q Days = 1 Trinary Period = 121 days 18 hours
3 Trinaries = 1 Solar Rev = 365 days 6 hours
1 Solarev = 1461 Q Days
The the sun and moon resynch every 172398 q. days or 86199 half days or 43099.5 days or approxomately 118 years (118.080821917 repeating )
