Renarin's Age in TWoK

Renarin is canonically given two ages in The Way of Kings, both 19 and 20. It is possible that he had a birthday between the two dates (in which case, Happy Canon Birthday, Renarin). The reference to twenty years comes after the ninteen years. How do we want to handle the dating of his year of birth in light of this?

Adolin knew that his brother— now nineteen years old— felt out of place.

—WoK, Ch. 12
