I think you're mixing up brivla and cmevla here.  {febvari} (or whatever finally decided upon) would behave no differently than any other brivla. It's true that the {pa} in {la pa .febru'ári'us.} is part of the name, but we wouldn't need or use that construction.  If I'm not mistaken, {pa la .febru'ári'us.} could and would mean "one February" as expected.

I'm not mixing them. Yes, I was talking about {la pa .februari'us.} and it doesnt work as {lo pa februari}.

And {lo pa februari} makes perfect sense and can be used.
If you use a cmevla with {la} you lose this meaning.
lo pa me la .febru'Ari'us. 

clani dukse i ji'a lo cmene na sumti stura kakne pe'a
 

Compare {lo se cmene be lu pa februari'us li'u} vs. {lo pa se cmene be zo februari'us}.

Sure, {lo pa [MONTH]} hasn't been used before a lot probably since we rarely have talked about months extensively in Lojban.
