Pretty sure moon in that context means month, so it would be like two years at minimum
Really? Always took it literally, like… that many moons have come and gone.
It's commonly understood that when the moon sets and rises again the next day, that's not a "new moon" that is the same moon coming around in the sky again. But the moon does a cycle of waxing and waning again every month (well, 28 days), and then you get a "new moon".
So "one moon" = one cycle of moon phases = roughly 1 month. This is where months came from.
