Editing Month (section)

=== Eastern Ojibwe calendar ===
[[Ojibwe]] month names{{efn|name=Ojibwe-vowels|Due to Eastern Ojibwe is a [[vowel]] [[Syncope (phonology)|syncope]] dialect, the elided vowels (and the occasionally elided consonants) have been added back in the table below, shown in brackets.}} are based on the key feature of the month. Consequently, months between various regions have different names based on the key feature of each month in their particular region. In the Eastern Ojibwe, this can be seen in when the [[Catostomidae|sucker]] makes its run, which allows the Ojibwe to fish for them. Additionally, Rhodes<ref name=Rhodes->{{cite book |editor-first=Richard A. |year=1993 |orig-year=1985 |editor-last=Rhodes |title=Eastern Ojibwa-Chippewa-Ottawa Dictionary |series=Trends in Linguistics |publisher=Walter de Gruyter |place=Berlin, DE; New York, NY|isbn=978-3110137491}}</ref> also informs of not only the variability in the month names, but how in Eastern Ojibwe these names were originally applied to the [[lunar month]]s the Ojibwe originally used, which was a [[lunisolar calendar]], fixed by the date of ''Akiinaaniwan'' (typically December&nbsp;27) that marks when sunrise is the latest in the Northern Hemisphere.
