I think {PA-masti} or {PA-ma'i} type lujvo or the derived fu'ivla are not very suitable for January, February etc., because the latters are rather related to {detri} or {detke'u}, a position on a calendar
, while {masti} means a duration according to a calendar system. In other words, {la'o zoi January zoi la'o zoi March zoi dunli lo ka masti li pa la gregoris}. Any lujvo constructed from {masti se detri be li pa} would be suitable, but it seems too long for frequent use. So I've just created a series of zi'evla for month names in la jbovlaste. Vote up or down as you like.zi'evla created:masnpa masnre masnci masnvo masnmu masnxa masnze masnbi masnso masndau masnfei masngai masnjau masnrei (ja masnxei) masnvai
(URLs of the entries are listed below.)Officially, {mas-n-re} and {mas-n-rei} are considered to be stage-3 fu'ivla, and they have the same problem as {PA-masti}/{PA-ma'i} type lujvo, that {malsi} (not even {masti}) should form the main place structure. Actually, only {masnre} and {masnrei} have the form of stage-3 fu'ivla among the above mentioned zi'evla. The others are in stage-4 form which produces no similar problem. If I used 'l'-hyphen instead of 'n', they would have been all in stage-4 form, but I prefer 'snr'-string that is easier to pronounce than 'slr'.{masn[PA]} is defined as follows:$x_1$ se detri li [PA] noi sinxa lo [PA] moi be lu'i ro da poi masti li pa gi'e pagbu $x_2$ noi nanca li pa lu'u ku'o $x_3$ boi $x_4$$x_1$ (event/state) is in the [PA-th month/...] of a year $x_2$ at location $x_3$, by calendar $x_4$.{masnjau} may mean Undecimber in 46 BC ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar#Realignment_of_the_year ), Adar II on the Hebrew calendar or the intercalary month on any lunisolar calendar.{masnrei} (ja {masnxei}) may mean Duodecimber in 46 BC.{masnvai} was created just for consistency.
examples:lo cabna cu masnci lo nanca noi se detri li renopamu ku'o mi la gregorisida masnjau lo nanca noi se detri lo muzezevo ku'o zo'e lo xebroilo detke'u be lo nunmro be la gandis noi banli cu masnpaWhat in the case that the thirteenth month is inserted between for example the sixth and the seventh? I'm not sure, the lojban translation may depend on $x_4$, say {1,2,3,4,5,6,13,7,8,9,10,11,12} or {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13}, both are possible.On another planet, we might need the 16th or higher month, then just create {masnpaxa} and so on.For the same reason, {PA-dei} type lujvo seem not to be very suitable for Monday, Tuesday etc., though I have not yet inserted the corresponding zi'evla into la jbovlaste.
If some of you agree to my idea, I will create similar zi'evla in the following form:{jednpa} for "the first day of a week",{jefnpa} for "the first week of a month",{detnpa} for "the first day of a month", etc.ni'oURLs of the entries of month names:mu'o--
