Noun

dzestasans

1. (countable) (in world) The thirteenth and final month in the Laefevo-Radestrian calendar, equivalent to the Gregorian days of March 15 (March 14 on a leap year) to March 19; the ‘month’ consists of only five to six days (at most one Laefevo-Radestrian week), and is culturally a week of holidays.

Usage notes

• Radestrians can disagree on whether the calendar contains 12 or 13 months: some refer to dzestasans as the ‘0^th’ month. This stems from the fact that in Radestrian, the word hjárs (“month”) is seldom used to include dzestasans; if someone were to say ha hjára (“in a month”) in Template:wl-rad, the date would be understood as the corresponding time in Template:wl-rad.
  • In the modern era, it is codified as the 13^th month.
