Finnish:
oak month (or central month if you don't use current meaning of the word)
pearl month
ground month
clearing the forest of trees for field month
planting seed month
summer month (or plowing month by original meaning)
hay harvesting month
grain harvesting month
autumn month
muddy month
death month
yule month
I'm no farmer, but shouldn't Planting Seed Month and Plowing Month be swapped? Seems like an ill-advised order of doing things.
