month

On-Yomi: ゲツ、ガツ — Kun-Yomi: つき

Koohii stories:

1) [cerulean] 19-5-2008(157): A month is longer than a day.

2) [elktapestry] 21-3-2007(60): Am I the only one who sees this as someone sticking their ass in the air "mooning" someone (two cheeks of the butt and the legs coming off of it)? The Moon meaning connects well to the meaning of month, considering that months were traditionally measured by the phases of the moon. Also, the mooning "ass" part of it connects well to Hesig's seemingly unconnected "flesh" or "part of the body" meaning (when used in primitive form).

3) [gaijingo] 16-6-2006(15): Month - every MOON cycle, werewolves eat FLESH, and other PARTs OF THE BODY.

4) [Tsuki56] 6-6-2009(12): Once a month, the moon is full.

5) [LiviaCH] 5-8-2008(8): A month is longer than a day.
