Question: Are there ever consecutive months with 29 days or 30 days in the Luni-solar calendar?

Answer: Yes, occasionally there are consecutive months with 29 or 30 days as determined by the moon.  In some instances, due to more unusual variations in the moon's movements, there are even up to 3 consecutive months as we observe in the following examples:
