Cycle

A cycle is a measure of time used by orcs. Young orcs do not get named until the Naming Day of the cycle they were born in.Lord of the Clans, pg. 6
==Azeroth's moons==
As Thrall was about to attack an internment camp during their liberation, one of his men informs him that both moons are full and that maybe they should attack when it is darker. Thrall states that they cannot wait two more weeks to attack. It would seem that two weeks elapse between a full moon and a new moon.Lord of the Clans, pg. 213
==Speculation==
A cycle may be the equivalent of a year for orcs. However, they never used it in that context on Draenor or Azeroth, simply referring to years as years.Lord of the ClansRise of the Horde It is more likely a reference to a lunar cycle, which goes through noticeable phases.
