Writing a Diary 8 (months you did things)

Dates you did things.
We have looked at days of the week for doing things. Now we look at months:
mis Genver                  
January
mis Whevrel 
(SWFM Hwevrer)
February
mis Meur(th) 
March
mis Ebrel                
April
mis Me                           
May
mis Efen
(SWFM Metheven)      
June
mis Gorefen
(SWFM Gortheren)  
July
mis Est                       
August
mis Gwedngala
(SWFM Gwynngala)
September
mis Hedra           
October
mis Dû                     
November
mis Kevardhû

 Here are some sentences using some of them:

Me eth dhe Frenk en mis Est.
I went to France in August.
Me eth tre en mis Hedra.  
I went home in October.
Me a neyjas e’n mor en mis Efen.

St Piran came in March.
Me a bernas cota tòbm en mis Dû.
I bought a warm coat in November.
Me a dhabras kig hedh en mis Hedra.

For a unique event, involving the verb boas “to be”, we can use another verb form (passive voice): <a veu> plus past participle/adjective (same for all persons).

Me a veu genys en mis Whevrel.  
I was born in February.
                                                    
Me a veu demedhys en mis Ebrel.
I was married in April.

O mergh a veu genys en mis Kevardhû.
My daughter was born in December.
Mytern Charles I a veu ladhys en mis Genver.
King Charles I was killed in January.
Charles ha Diana a veu didhemedhys en mis Est.
