Months

Most months names have cognates with Slavic, with some probably being loanwords. Some, like suošini is similar to Baltic traditional months names. (Suošini is not a loanword from Baltic but derives from the word suoši - dryness).

Month	Name
January	suošini
February	šiečini
March	pažymi
April	kvėtini
May	beržini
June	vyšnėti
July	liepini
August	širpini
September	aserini
October	virškini
November	lapkroši
December	gruodini

The word aserini is the only month name, having no clear etymology. Most scholars state it comes from Old Pomorian asērs/aserīs - the time of harvest ending.
