month names

[Anton]

Not sure if we have this thread in the proper subforum.

I've consulted the Idiotikon recently for some month names featured as the VMS marginalia. The Idiotikon is the ongoing project of composing a dictionary of Swiss German dialects, and it is expected to be finished within several years.

The article bursts with lingusitic terms, zweisilbige and the like, and it also has references to sources as psalters etc. The bad thing is that the resource does not allow copying text, so I can't feed all that zweisilbiges into Google translator. It would be great if somebody speaking German could read all that, explain what's being said  and make some use of the references.

It's interesting that while August is August, Augustin is September

Here we have the "Aberil": You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. with a note that this variant comes from Glarus. That may be of interest.

I thought I have seen Mars as well, but I must be mistaken. They have it as Marz or Merz.
