== Coptic months == The following table refers to dates for Coptic years not containing [[29 February]]. Such years are preceded by a Coptic [[leap day]] at the end of the preceding year. This causes dates to move one day later in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars from the Coptic New Year's Day until the leap day of the Julian or Gregorian Calendar respectively. {| class="wikitable" !rowspan=2|No. !colspan=4|Name ! rowspan="2" |[[Ethiopian calendar]] !rowspan=2|Julian calendar dates !rowspan=2|Gregorian calendar dates (1900–2099) !rowspan=2|Season !rowspan=2|Coptic name origin<ref>{{cite book |last1=Černý |first1=Jaroslav |title=Coptic Etymological Dictionary |date=1976 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=Cambridge |isbn=978-0-521-07228-1}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Vycichl |first1=Werner |title=Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue Copte |date=1983 |publisher=Peeters |location=Leuven |isbn=978-2-8017-0197-3}}</ref> |- ![[Bohairic]]<br />[[Coptic language|Coptic]] ![[Sahidic]]<br />[[Coptic language|Coptic]] ![[Transliteration|Trans{{shy}}literation]] ![[Egyptian Arabic|Arabic]]<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hinds |first1=Martin |last2=Badawi |first2=El-Said |title=A Dictionary of Egyptian Arabic: Arabic-English |date=1986 |publisher=Librairie du Liban |location=Beirut |isbn=978-0-8288-0434-9}}</ref><br />[[pronunciation]]<br />{{clarify|post-text= – [[Talk:Coptic calendar#Arabic pronunciation?|discuss]]|date=June 2024}} |- |1 || {{lang|cop|Ⲑⲱⲟⲩⲧ}} || {{lang|cop|Ⲑⲟⲟⲩⲧ}} || [[Thout]] || {{lang|ar|توت}} {{Transliteration|ar|''Tūt''}} |Mäskäräm (መስከረም)|| 29 August – 27 September || 11 September – 10 October || rowspan="4" |Akhet ([[Season of the Inundation|Inundation]]) || {{lang|egy|ḏḥwty}}: [[Thoth]], god of Wisdom and Science |- |2 || {{lang|cop|Ⲡⲁⲟⲡⲓ}} || {{lang|cop|Ⲡⲁⲱⲡⲉ}} || [[Paopi]] || {{lang|ar|بابه}} {{Transliteration|ar|''Bābah''}} |Ṭəqəmt(i) (ጥቅምት)|| 28 September – 27 October || 11 October – 9 November || {{lang|egy|pꜣ-n-jpt}}: [[Opet Festival]] |- |3 || {{lang|cop|Ⲁⲑⲱⲣ}} || {{lang|cop|Ϩⲁⲑⲱⲣ}} || [[Hathor (month)|Hathor]] || {{lang|ar|هاتور}} {{Transliteration|ar|''Hātūr''}} |Ḫədar (ኅዳር)|| 28 October – 26 November || 10 November – 9 December || {{lang|egy|Ḥwt-ḥr}}: [[Hathor]], goddess of beauty and love (the land is lush and green) |- |4 || {{lang|cop|Ⲭⲟⲓⲁⲕ}} || {{lang|cop|Ⲕⲟⲓⲁϩⲕ}} || [[Koiak]] || {{lang|ar|كياك}} {{Transliteration|ar|''Kyak''}} |Taḫśaś ( ታኅሣሥ)|| 27 November – 26 December || 10 December – 8 January || {{lang|egy|kꜣ-ḥr-kꜣ}}: "spirit upon spirit," the name of a festival |- |5 || {{lang|cop|Ⲧⲱⲃⲓ}} || {{lang|cop|Ⲧⲱⲃⲉ}} || [[Tobi (month)|Tobi]] || {{lang|ar|طوبه}} {{Transliteration|ar|''Ṭūbah''}} |Ṭərr(i) (ጥር)|| 27 December – 25 January || 9 January – 7 February || rowspan="4" | Proyet, Peret, Poret ([[Season of the Emergence|Growth]]) || {{lang|egy|tꜣ-ꜥꜣbt}}: "The offering" |- |6 || {{lang|cop|Ⲙⲉϣⲓⲣ}} || {{lang|cop|Ⲙϣⲓⲣ}} || [[Meshir]] || {{lang|ar|أمشير}} {{Transliteration|ar|''ʾAmshīr''}} |Yäkatit (Tn.
