According to CLDR all mon, abmon, day, and abday values are the same
in all variants of Afar except how August is spelled: "Leqeeni" in
aa_DJ vs. "Liiqen" in all other variants.

In my opinion this source is not quite reliable.  This opinion
may sounds rather strange so I must explain my reasons:

* Inconsistent use of upper/lower case in the second word
  if a month name consists of 2 words.
* Probably swapped June and July.  All other sources (CLDR, the
  old content of glibc, Wiktionary) agree that June is "Qasa Dirri"
  and July is "Qado Dirri" while they swap it.

Unfortunately, there are few Afar sources in the Internet.

> Since glibc only support Gregorian calendar 

True but CLDR seems to have explained how to map the traditional
Ethiopian calendar to Gregorian.
