A month is a time of the year where people attempt to make February look bad by only giving it 28 days, but they were sued so eventually they had to give it an extra day every four years, which created leap year and made it unique. Or whatever.

  • Via [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Month]] < [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Month]] mōnað < Proto-Germanic *mēnōþ- < Proto-Indo-European *me(n)ses- (moon, month), probably from PIE base *mê- (to measure), referring to the moon’s phases as the measure of time. Cognate with moon. Cognates include: Ancient Greek: μήν (mḗn), Armenian: [[ամիս#|ամիս]] (amis), German: Monat, Old High German: mānōd, Middle High German: mānōt, Old Irish: mí, and Old Slavic: (měsęncĭ).
  • The month is a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as long as some natural period related to the motion of the Moon. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such months (lunations) are synodic months and last ~29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moon's phases as early as the Paleolithic age. Synodic months are still the basis of many calendars.
  • The Lunar and Zzaburi Calendars share the concepts of Month, although the lengths are different.
  • A month is a unit of measurement that denotes the passage of time. The Gregorian Calendar on Earth used months as a means to measure the passage of time. Earth months are generally about four weeks in length. Most of the Earth month usually spans 31 days. The human months of April, June and September each span 30 days. February, which is the second month of the human year normally spans 28 days, except for every fourth year, in which case it spans 29 days.
  • A month is a period into which a year is divided. A period of 30 days, 31 days, or some alternation thereof.

abstract
  • This page is intended to define the INTERSLAVIC word form for the ENGLISH word at the top of the column to the right. If the INTERSLAVC box is "blank", then a word form has not yet been selected. Immediately below the INTERSLAVIC box is a link entitled "discussion about this word" - which will link you to a "Discussion" page specifically for the WORD at point. Below the Discussion Page link, under "PRIRODNE JEZYKI" ("Natural Languages") are listed the various modern Slavic natural languages - in their respective native language forms (NOTE: some natural language may be missing) Finally, below the Natural Languages section, is the "Constructed Languages" section - "Postavjene Jezyki" - which includes "Slovio" "Novosloviensky" (NeoSlavonic) and "Slovianski". The "Slovio" project is no longer active. "Novosloviensky" and "Slovianski", on the other hand, have joined together as "INTERSLAVIC" or "MEDŽUSLOVJANSKI" - each offering a slightly different grammatical format. Here you may access and edit this information.
