20 days, 20th day of the month = はつか

For shirts, the counter is 枚（まい） regardless of the quantity.

Think of the っ being a function of two sounds bordering each other, not two words bordering each other.

It's not that いち and ヶ月 are next to each other. It's that ち and ヶ are next to each other.

じゅういっかげつ
