Thanks so much for the detailed output.

Please what might be the reason or rational behind these particular names of the month.
Eg. I learnt that July is mostly a month that you spend wisely and exercise a lot of restraint and Self discipline so that you dont end up stealing for financial hardships. Hence Kitawonsa.
And its mostly so.
