A quite different list is to be found in a work inaccessible to me—Pratt and Frazer, Some Folk-songs and Myths from Samoa, R. Soc. of New S. Wales, XXIII, 1891, p. 121. It is worth noting that here two names of months are said to mean a demon, another a forest spirit.

[911] I cannot go further into this, but refer to Ginzel, I, 243 ff., though he has far from exhausted the subject. Wellhausen’s treatment (l. c.) is suggestive but too dogmatic, and he leaves the nasî out of account. More recently Moberg has examined in detail the Arabian traditions: for particulars of his researches I refer to his paper, Den muhammedanska traditionen i fråga om an-nasî, St. Tegn., pp. 465 ff. His conclusion is that originally nasî was partly the term for the insertion of the intercalary month, and also probably the name of the intercalary month itself.
[912] For quotations see Sprenger, pp. 145 ff., also Albiruni, in Ginzel I, 245.
[913] See my Entstehung etc., p. 47.
[914] Sprenger’s hypothesis that the pre-Mohammedan Arabians had the lunar year but that the feast of pilgrims was held before the full moon preceding the spring equinox is also false: for the names of months shew that the feast was connected with a definite month.
