Na Míosa. January: Ianuar (m.): Gionbhar: Enar, gen. Enair. [Old Irish form of Ianuar]: Eunar would be the analo- gous modern form of this: cf. Spanish, Enero. Deireadh- an-Gheimhridh, Tosach-na-bliadhna. February: Feabhra (m.): Faoilidh, Faoillidh, f.: iomulc, m., corruptly, Oimealc, m. f. Mí-fhéile- Bríghde, Taide-an-earraigh: Tosach-an-earraigh: Tosach-an-earraigh. March: Márt, m. (gen. Márta); Meadhón-an Ear- raigh. April: Abrán, m. Abraon, Abraoil (cf. Welsh Ebrill), Apríl, Deireadh-an-Earraigh : Mí-na-gCuach. May: Bealtaine, f. Céideamh, m. (gen. Céidimh): Céideamhain, f. (gen. Céideamhna); Tosach-an-tsamhraidh: Mái. June: Meitheamh, m. (gen. Meithimh); Meitheamhain, f. g. eamhna, Iun, Mí-Iuin; Meadhón-an-tsamhraidh. July: Iul, m. (gen. Iuil); Mhí-bhuidhe: Buidhmhí: Deireadh-an-tSamhraidh. August: Lughnas, f. (gen. Lughnasa); Tróghán [O.I., Tróghán, prob. the lean or scarce month — the month before the crops came in]; Tosach-an-fhoghmhair: Taide- an-fhoghmhair: August. September: Meadhón-an-fhoghmair: Seacht-mhí. October: Deireadh-an-fhoghmhair: Ocht-mhí, Oicht-mhí. November: Samhain, f. (gen. Samhna); Gamhain, f. (gen. Gamhna) [Gamhain I believe to be the true old name of the month — meaning “Little-winter” or “Winter-
weather”. Samhain I look upon as an error and a cor- ruption, but too long established to be changed]. Tosach- an-gheimhridh: Naoi-mhí. December: Mí-Nodlach: Deichmhí, Meadhón-an-gheimh- ridh, Deireadh-na-bliadhna. [These half translations, Seachtmhí, Ochtmhí, Naoimhí, Deichmhí, I don't approve of; they don't seem to have any good authority, spoken or written, in their favour.]
