Nothing stopping the other half from just flipping it to match their seasons, that’s what they do already, and the number for date stays the same anyways

Now let’s work on names for this 13th month…

Onzember based on how the last few months starting with September are all just part of a number in Portuguese/Spanish (and maybe other languages) + ember. Ex: November = Nove + ember, Onzember = Onze + ember
