Template talk:list:Gregorian calendar months/ru/archaic

RFD discussion: September 2020
A list of archaic Russian months, created by User:Usernoun. The list contains inaccuracies. It is based on Славянские названия месяцев, which conflicts in almost everything with another article - Древнеславянский календарь.

The former article tends to lean on East Slavic cognates, e.g. with the sense "January", which is similar to 🇨🇬 but differs form Old East Slavic where the word meant "February". Some Google books resources explain that some words were used in Little Rus/Russia (i.e. Ukraine) in different meanings, thus creating overlaps. There are also a few synonyms and alternative forms.

It's not so clear if all Slavic months names can be attested in their senses in the actual usages (not mentions) but this template should be created when the month names are sorted out, in my opinion. I have only cleaned up. I suggest to delete the dubious template for now.

Calling, in case you want to take part in the clean-up. There are some useful Google hits, which prove the current senses wrong. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:39, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
