Senses
1. month (unit of time) — A calendrical unit of approximately thirty days, used in the NT for durations (Luke 1:24 'five months,' Rev 9:5 'five months'), dates (Luke 1:26 'sixth month'), and periods of activity (Acts 18:11, 19:8, 20:3). Singular and plural forms represent the same temporal concept with no semantic divergence. Multilingual translations confirm a single sense: spa 'mes/meses,' hin 'maheena/maheene,' arb 'shahr/ashhuran,' kor 'dal/gaewol,' swa 'mwezi/miezi.' The Arabic singular-plural pair 'shahr/ashhur' and the Swahili 'mwezi/miezi' are standard number inflections of one lexeme, not distinct senses. 18×
