7.9 Seasons

7 · Numerals — counting, dates, "the second one" · a plain-language guide to Assyrian (Sureth) grammar

Four words, all treated as masculine:

seasonAssyrian
wintersetva
springbi-nisane
summerketa
autumnchiriyye

bi-nisane literally leans on nisan (April) — spring is "the Nisan-time." Sometimes shortened to just nisane. chiriyye (autumn) is likewise tied to the autumn months below (chiri).

To say "in summer / in winter," put b- ("in") on the front: b-keta "in summer," b-setva "in winter."
