Notes:
-regen-month/ hart-month sequence is very rare (only seen 3 times before), on the border regions between germany and austria. All 3 have other forms of april, mostly forms of abril/abrel. 

-abrül seems to also be a Salzburg area thing. I would like someone else to confirm it's not abriil, but i'm more and more confident as the y's and u's are different. In this MSS, it also matches the 'ü' used in aügst.

Is this also a good time to bring up that we don't technically have septēbre in the VMS? We have septēb', and reasonably assume septēbre to match the rest, but it could also be september or septembris, right? IIRC, they are often used interchangably in french works, too (I just never really catalogued them if an 're' or 'er' ending was there).
