there is known "septem menstris" where "menstris"= monatlich, monthly
So which are the derivatives of mensis?
bime(n)stris, interme(n)stris, quadrimestris, seme(n)stris ( from a
*sex-mens-tris), septemme(n)stris, trime(n)stris, trime(n)sis,
menstruus, menstruo, menstruare, menstrualis..
there are the derivatives of menstruus.
Begining with Cypr. "mensurnus" after "diurnus"

One question for Rob. Is there "septemmensri" or " *septemmensri"?
