The question is two-fold. Where is the word 'aberil' found and wherefore, for what reason, was it used to name the month of April, twice in the VMs Zodiac sequence?
Where is it found? Nothing relevant on Google.
'Aberil' is apparently one of several variant words that are found in various languages. April is usually found on a calendar and the "ebooks" reference contains a number of liturgical calendars, which can be sorted by language groups. In the German group, the overwhelming preference is for "Aprilis" [Latin] or an abbreviation. In the French language group, the preference is for "Avril".
The only other viable alternative so far is the Germanic-group use of "Abrell" in 1540 Appenzell.
In a ninja search, back in 2019, Anton posted a reference that connects "Aberil" with the Swiss canton of Glarus - with no further info.
Is there more on this?
