Month (noun) means: a time of about thirty days that repeats each year. It emerges from days, regular, repeats, thirty: many days group together in a regular pattern to form a longer time span that recurs each year. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 24, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
