  Lunette
The lunette, known in Germany as the lunula and also as the melchisedech, is a crescent-shaped clip made of gold or of silver-gilt which is used for holding the Host in an upright position when exposed in the monstrance.
The lunette was certainly in use before the Reformation and it is to be found in many of the monstrances of the fifteenth century which are still preserved to us (see the list in Otto-Wernicke, "Handbuch", I, 243).
Already in 1591 Jakob Müller in his "Kirchengeschmuck" gives a detailed description of the lunette, or "mönlein", and points out the desirability that the two strips of metal that form the clip should be separable so as to permit of their being thoroughly purified when the Host is changed.

 Summary: Dunes, Lunette   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Lunettes are accumulations of semiconsolidated fine sand, silt, and clay-pellet aggregates that form rounded, low (meters high) dunes on the downwind sides of playas.
Lunettes generally form in semiarid areas dominated by an effective unidirectional wind regime, which allows deflated particles to accumulate preferentially along just one side of playas.
The presence of lunettes indicates a nearby clay playa that may be suitable for aircraft landings, or may be wet and sticky.

 THE MORPHOLOGY, SEDIMENTOLOGY AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE OF TWO PAN-LUNETTE CLUSTERS IN THE SOUTH WESTERN CAPE ...
Two clusters of small pans and associated lunette dunes are distinct landscape features in the Swartland and Agulhas Plain regions of the southwestern Cape of South Africa.
Not only are geomorphic characteristics at variance between regions, but also the alignment of lunettes on the leeside of pans, parallel within the cluster, is at variance with predominant modern wind direction and seasonality of precipitation at both sites, although the difference is more pronounced at Agulhas.
Without further chronological constraints to elucidate the timing of dune-building periods, the lunettes may be seen as a cumulative product of at least the past 8000 years of windy arid seasons.
