as I patiently explained in that same post, Hydra, it's not something I especially "want," but that someone wrote to me claiming there was such a word. knowing as we do that there seems to be a word for "almost everything" (Richard Lederer, on There's a Word for It!), I had no reason to doubt this claim and simply put the question.
I suggested 'diurnal moon' to my interlocutor (although it's not one word) and her response to that was, "Actually, maybe that’s it, because I remember that it was a word that described the moon such as “gibbous.”"
[styleruleguidance aside: just there is an instance of quoting outside the period that looks really odd, to me.]
