Months
The Season of Harvest consists of four 30-day months plus one little month of 5 or 6 days. This little month was considered to be an intercalary period, which brought the season of 365 days. These months can be either referred to by number (months 9 through 13) or by names as follows:
- Month 9 = Pashons
- Month 10 = Paoni
- Month 11 = Epip
- Month 12 = Mesori
- Month 13 = Pi Kogi Enavot (the little month)
The Season of Harvest is preceded by the Season of the Emergence and is followed by the Season of the Inundation.

Famous quotes containing the word months:
“So much for Mrs. Hollis’ nine months of pain and 20 years of hope.”
—Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Nameless GI, Objective Burma, cutting dog tags off a dead GI (1945)
“When the hounds of spring are on winter’s traces,
The mother of months in meadow or plain
Fills the shadows and windy places
With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain;”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
