dzestasans
Radestrian
Etymology
Pronunciation
Noun
dzestasans inan (genitive singular dzestaseng, dative singular dzestasanga, nominative plural dzestasange, constructive genitive plural dzestasanjes)
- (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 ‘0th’ 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 dzevans, the date would be understood as the corresponding time in vanints.
- Moreover, the month has special words for the first and fourth (and fifth on leap years) days of the week, and the date is read slightly differently.
- In the modern era, it is codified as the 13th month.
