Proper noun

ܛܲܒܵܚ • (ṭabbāḥ) m

1. August (eight month of the Gregorian calendar of thirty-one days, following July and preceding September)
2. The fifth month of the Assyrian calendar.

Usage notes

• ܐܵܒ (āb) is the most common name for the month of August alongside ܛܲܒܵܚ (ṭabbāḥ), the two fairly being interchangeable. However there is a push by some for ܛܲܒܵܚ (ṭabbāḥ) to be used more often, due to August 7 being ܝܵܘܡܵܐ ܕܣܵܗܕܹ̈ܐ ܐܵܫܘܿܪ̈ܵܝܹܐ (yāwmā d-sāhdē āšorāyē, “Assyrian Martyrs Day”)
