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:
“Sixteen. Her breasts
round, round, and
dark-nippled
who now these two months long
is bones and tatters of flesh in earth.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Who lives longer: the man who takes heroin for two years and dies, or the man who lives on roast beef, water and potatoes till ninety-five? One passes his twenty-four months in eternity. All the years of the beef-eater are lived only in time.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“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)
