Okay, this is wierd, but I need to know a day - in the future - that
ends in BOTH the letter "L" and "M".  There is to be much free reign
to interpret, as the exact wording is that it just has to end in "L"
and "M".  Forign languages are allowed, but it must be english looking
scrpit (i.e. spanish and italian OK, but Arabic and Chineese NOT OK). 
Holidays, like the <Genaric> Festiva"l", are fair game - but must be
backed up by a web site referance.  If not enough money, this is my
first question ever posted so let me know.

Are looking for a single day that ends in both the letter "l" and the
letter "m"?   When you say "BOTH the letter 'L' and 'M'", do you mean
that one version of the word for that day ends in "l", while another
version ends in "m"?  (For example, hypothetically speaking, there
could be a day called "festival" that is also known as "festivam".) 
Do the words have to be in the same language, or can the word for a
day in one language end in "l", while the word for that day in a
different language ends in "m"?

It has to be one day.  Two differant names for the day.  So, lets say
the Generic Festival in finland and maybe the Day of Dead Guy in
Isreal.  Or, if Festivam is a word in another language, than both
english and (other language) would work.  This is a deal I have going
with someone else, kinda like "when pigs fly", but it's "when a day
ends in both the letters "L" and "M"" - so there is pleanty of
lattitude.  However, it must be the same date and is only valuable to
me if it is a future date.  Beyond that, anything that gets it there
is valid (differant languages/spellings/et al.).

Would a holiday which ends in the letters "lm" be acceptable?

As a fictitious example, if "Day of the Palm" were a holiday, would
this do?

The reason I ask is that I know of an obscure holiday that does end in
the letters "lm". If this would meet your needs, I can give you the
name of the holiday, the date that it is celebrated, and documentation
from several Web sites.

It has to be two differant names.  The end of them has to be "l" and
"m"  So, "... palm" would work for "m", but not "l" - if on the same
day as the "day of palm" there was also a "genaric name festival",
then that is what I'm looking for.

Okay, I had a co-worker read the question and she said it was too
vauge.  I'm looking for one day.  Two seperate names for that day. 
One name that ends in "L" and one name that ends in "M". Sorry for any
confusion :)

Hi there,

I'm posting this as a comment. I feel I almost cracked it for you, but
not quite.

There is a Jewish holiday called Purim. In Hebrew it would be known as
Goral, although they choose to use the Persian name. So, it's more of
a curiousity than two names in usage.

"Purim is a Persian word, the same as Goral in the Hebrew language,
meaning lot."
http://www.uwm.edu/~corre/buxdorf/chp24.html

The day it falls on each year varies, but somewhere in March.
http://www.prophetech.com/institute/festivals.htm

The Islamic New Year, called  "Muharram", also changes it's date every
year. I'm sure some time in the next few thousand years it will fall
on the same day as Purim/Goral, but I only found its dates for up
until 2020:
http://www.indoflorist.com/holidays-islamic.html
(on the page they call it Hijra New Year)

There are very few "days" that end in L or M. Here are the rest I
found:

Spain:
St Michael (Lleida only)
29 September 
(every year)
Christian celebration of angels as companions who help fight off the
power of evil and who are present at the hour of death.
http://www.jours-feries.com/fete4.php3?annee2=2003&id_langue=2&ref_mois=9&id_continent=5

USA:
Bunker Hill Day
17 June 
(every year) 
Massachusetts; Celebrated in Boston and Suffolk County
Commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775

Bahamas:
Fox Hill Day
12 October 
(every year)
Celebrates the abolition of slavery, and takes place in the area of
Fox Hill, about five miles from New Providence.

Korea and Mongolia:
Sollal
Feb 1+2 

Sri Lanka 
Maaveerar Naal’ - Heroes Day - (Trincomalee district )
25 November 
(every year)

Okay, this is none of my business, and if I were a researcher I would
be much too polite to ask.  But I am the sort of person who signs up
to ask questions, not answer them, because I get bitten by curiosity a
lot.  So I am dying to know:  what is the use of this information? 
It's one of the strangest questions I have ever seen.
