Jasmonat

Jasmonat is a name used in fictional or speculative calendar systems to designate a month of the year. It is not part of any widely recognized civil calendar, and there is no single authoritative definition. In many works, Jasmonat is presented as a spring or early-summer month, with its position and length varying by author. Some authors place Jasmonat as the fifth month of a 12-month year, others as the sixth or as a transitional month between spring and early summer. The typical length is stated as 29 to 31 days depending on the system, but again this is not standardized.

Etymology: The word appears to be a compound of a root jas- with the German word monat, meaning "month." The root does not point to a real historical language in a uniform way, and in practice its meaning is determined by the text in which it appears. Some creators connect the name to jasmine or jasmin flowers, which are associated with late spring in many climates, while others interpret it as a purely phonetic coinage.

Usage and symbolism: In settings where Jasmonat is used, the month is often associated with growth, flowering, and renewal, and may host seasonal festivals or agricultural rites. Its themes can reflect the fictional world’s climate and calendar rules, such as lunar or solar alignment, feast days, and agricultural cycles.

Because Jasmonat is not standardized, readers should consult the specific calendar system of the work in question for precise placement, length, and observances.
