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:
“Can no man tell me of my unthrifty son?
‘Tis full three months since I did see him last.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Here lies interred in the eternity of the past, from whence there is no resurrection for the days—whatever there may be for the dust—the thirty-third year of an ill-spent life, which, after a lingering disease of many months sank into a lethargy, and expired, January 22d, 1821, A.D. leaving a successor inconsolable for the very loss which occasioned its existence.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“I’m 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I’d only be 48. That’s the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
