Finnish:
oak month (or central month if you don't use current meaning of the word)
pearl month
ground month
clearing the forest of trees for field month
planting seed month
summer month (or plowing month by original meaning)
hay harvesting month
grain harvesting month
autumn month
muddy month
death month
yule month
Finland would have a higher population if they would just get rid of Death Month.
It's just a name, like the Forbidden Month or the Month of No Return, all the months have names like that in the Season of Terror.
No, Finland becomes the Purge for a month, ensuring that only the strongest and craftiest Finns survive. If you see an old Finnish person, better respect them. They survived decades of annual battle royals.
