That makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, I don't think that brode could be the basis for month names,
since it's basically about days of the month, not about months.

Or maybe add a third:

brodi: x1 is the x2th month of year x3, under calendar/system x4

I agree.

I like this idea. Actually, I think works much better than any proposal to date. I would suggest that, instead of having the broda brode and brodi, to have broda, brodi, and rodbrodi for brode instead.

Furthermore, I suggest {detla} for broda, with the rafsi {dle}, which I do not believe is taken yet, for {pavdle}, etc., and {masla} for brodi, with the rafsi {msa}, assuming that's a valid rafsi, which I doubt, which yields {dlemasla} for brode.
