Galhaf has two moons, sharing a single orbit, at a distance of 272,568 km. The smaller, secondary, moon occupies the primary moon's L4 point. The larger moon was called waTassaklas in Classical Kasshian and Sasash in Ivetsian, the smaller moon was called waKlastas in Classical Kasshian as Lhásta in Ivetsian.
Total solar eclipses (of Chihazh) are unknown on Galhaf, all solar eclipses being partial or annular. The maximum possible eclipse is about 63% of the solar disc. Very rarely one of the moons will pass in front of Chimíve.
Both moons are large enough to have visible phases. Sasash exerts somewhat stronger tidal forces on Galhaf than our moon does on Earth.
