The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her perfection.
The month is named after the moon, marvelous to watch as it grows fuller each night, a signal light for the heavenly armies, shining out in the dome of the sky.
The new moon like its name renews itself; how wondrous it is when it changes: A military signal for the waterskins on high, it paves the firmament with its brilliance,
“Month” derives its name from the moon; it waxes wondrously as its phases change. It is a beacon to the hosts on high, shining in the vault of the heavens.
The new moon, as its name suggests, renews itself; how marvellous it is in this change, a beacon to the hosts on high, shining in the vault of the heavens!
