It seems to be at random, like no second thought being made about it; In wich case it does not mean a dialect of french-german but like an interpolation of languages;
what about the text, are french and german words mixed in? i can not read it; if yes, i assume the selecting of words for each language gives piority to important nouns for a language an important verbs for another one.
In case this interpolation is something real, the marginalia month names are not a native natural language but just an evidence of the languages the scriba knew: "iollet" and "aberil" may be from lost dialects learned from somewhere at some point.
Not sure how this german-french mix works in the ms (Staatsbibliothek Bamberg Msc.Med.22) besides the month names, if it can be labeled as a new sintaxis or just a selective use of diferent words of diferent languages; is like how in the marginalia some text has like 2 languages, like voyniches and "german."
