How to Read the Calendar Name "Quepennura" and Its Origin
It is read like /keh-pen-noo-ra/.
It is derived from five Latin words: Martius (March), Junius (June), September, December and annus (year). At first, the basis of the name was constructed with:
C: the 3rd letter of "December"
E: the 2nd letter of "December"
P: the 3rd letter of "September"
E: the 2nd letter of "September"
N: the 3rd letter of "Junius"
U: the 2nd letter of "Junius"
R: the 3rd letter of "Martius"
A: the 2nd letter of "Martius"
After that,
the 1st letter "C" was changed into "QU" because "C" of "December" is pronounced /k/ in Latin language.
the 5th word "annus" was added to the part of "EN" in the basis of the name after being changed into "enn". (cf. Millennium is derived from mill "1,000" and annus "year")
