back to calendar reform, thinking of names for the months – re-using existing names would just lead to confusion – using people’s names leads to a different type of confusion – but month names were just common words but thanks to time and translation, their meanings are forgotten – (in English) our current month names were inherited from Latin, translated they would be something like – Gate, Purification, War, Opening, Growth, Queen, Julius, Augustus, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth
pulling in translations of Germanic (and some Native American appropriation), I’m thinking of something like – Gate, Mud, Spring, Easter, Pasture, Fallow, Sun, Hay, Harvest, Wood, Wine, Blood, Holy, Peace – this betrays a very northern hemisphere perspective (but having offset names for northern and southern hemispheres would be even more confusing)
