   Except for the dictionaries I used. ^_-  The Random House   
   Japanese-English, English Japanese dictionary has no listing of the word...   
      
   Although now that I looked it up in Jim Breen's online one using only   
   kanji, I get it but with a different reading, getsuei.  Using tsukikage   
   in hiragana, I got nothing.  However, when I used the romanji search   
   this time, it did come up with two readings for the earlier kanji,   
   getsuei and tsukikage.  Looking up the word in English on the site, I   
   also didn't get tsukikage as a reading.   
      
   I rarely use romanji searches as romanji is tricky for me.  I can't see   
   why both readings were listed in the straight kanji search, and why   
   there wasn't a result for the hiragana search.  Meh, online   
   dictionaries, I suppose.
