the word for a calendar month or period (e.g., "month," a named holiday month, or the date/year unit) in a sentence about a holiday or dated occasion, firing on the token that names or completes the time period, right before the specific date or event is given.
Words naming a calendar period, especially "month" (also "term", "quarter", or the name of a month), usually in the context of designated or religious months like National ___ Month, Ramadan, or the Hindu, Jewish and Chinese lunar calendars. This includes the Chinese "斋月中" (during the fasting month) and parts of month names such as "Kartika" and "Tishrei", and it often covers linking words just before the month name, such as "of" or "as".
