Isto non es correcte. Le parole "crescente" significa le periodo
ab novilunio usque al plenilunio (correcte?). Io vole saper le
termino del momento medie quando le luna es illuminate 50%. Per
numero 2 (e 4), in anglese:

1. New Moon
  Waxing Crescent (between new moon and first quarter)
2. First Quarter
  Waxing Gibbous (between first quarter and full moon)
3. Full Moon
  Waning Gibbous (between full moon and last quarter)
4. Third Quarter / Last Quarter
  Waning Crescent (between last quarter and new moon)

  Google search:

    last quarter moon  -> 225,000 hits
    third quarter moon -> 107,000 hits
