Two precautions related to my message, then.

1. Proto-Slavic months nomenclature may be much wider than just pre-
_East_-Slavic reconstructions I enumerated.

2. As it seemes from at least the Baltic and Slavic season names, the
latter to a great extent depend on the local geographical and
economical conditions of a specific IE people, thus they should be
rather unstable diachronically what, IMO, makes linguistic
reconstruction close to impossible.
