HELMIkuu

 °

Finnisch für Anfänger:

HELMIKUU = Februar / February
HELMI = Perle / pearl
KUU = Mond / moon

Historical names for February include the Old English terms Solmonath 
(mud month) and Kale-monath (named for cabbage) as well as Charlemagne's 
designation Hornung. 

In Finnish, the month is called helmikuu, meaning "month of the pearl"; 
when snow melts on tree branches, it forms droplets, and as these freeze 
again, they are like pearls of ice. 

In Polish and Ukrainian, respectively, the month is called luty or лютий 
(lyutiy), meaning the month of ice or hard frost. In Macedonian the month 
is sechko (сечко), meaning month of cutting (wood). In Czech, it is called 
únor, meaning month of submerging (of river ice).
