I heard "Adar Rishon" and "Adar Sheni" (written "Adar I" and "Adar II").
I've enjoyed thinking of the latter as like a movie sequel. "Adar II: The Revenge of Adar".
Apparently all of these forms are common.

- xwowsersx 4y agoRight, that's essentially the same thing, with aleph being a shortened way of saying rishon and bet being a shortened way of saying sheni. My original point was that I'd never heard of "ve'adar". Apparently as the Wikipedia entry says, that's less common. Curious if the Mishna or Talmud ever uses "ve'adar" (I've never seen it, but doesn't mean it doesn't exist)
