Months of the Year...

This was going to be something of a surprise found in Book II. Instead, after much questioning, I decided to release it. As you can see below, Ardis has 14 months, of which are derived from three of the oldest extant languages found on the planet. Whether by happenstance or otherwise, their months contains 4 weeks and 30 days; no month has more or less than the other.

It had also been asked if Ardis’s days had names. The ultimate answer was no, as I had set down that bit of continuity in Book I. Also, the meaning of each month has its origin in the language it comes from. Some of the meaning are obscure as they are rooted in invariably ancient languages, other meanings speak for themselves, particularly that of the first and last month.
