I would be happy to hear from any who have researched calendar in the host communities in which Bible translation takes place.  Notes in MAP, or a paper sent directly to me would be welcome. Your input would be acknowledged in the usual academic ways in a longer paper I hope to prepare, based on a draft presented at BT13

In 2001 we did a spot of research of the Lelna calendar for the publication of the C'Lela dictionary K'Ba̱tksa̱ although not massively thoroughly. I forget exactly what we did, but the output was a combination of Hausa and English calendars with C'Lela 'month names' (coined from the numbers + moon) and significant traditional events associated with times of year.
