Ah, I hadn't thought of that.  Thank you.  ("Ezehu chag shehachodesh 
miskase bo have omer ze Rosh Hashsna." G'mara, somewhere (in RH, I 
guess).)

But is the word used anywhere outside of that to describe RH?  As far as I 
can tell from http://mechon-mamre.org/searchfh.htm , Yad Hachazaka refers 
only to the r'galim as "chag".  Anywhere else?
