Months
-
Peace be upon you,
I remember this topic was discussed before, but I cannot find it.
Are we sure that the God is talking about "MONTHS"? The God does not address how many hours are in a day, or seconds in a minute, are we sure He is addressing the number of months in a year? Why would we need to know that?
Is it just because we see the mention of TWLEVE, that we assume it means months?
What is the root word soI can look on Wakas' database to get the possible definitions of this word.

peace bro,
Firstly, I suggest reading the 'which root is being used?' part in PRL. Its helpful in identifyying the root.
fast/abstain - sawm - Sawd-Waw-Miim
From Lane & QD
Shiin-ha(not Ha in hajj)-Ra
to publish abroad, make it notable/known/manifest/public/infamous (in a bad or good sense), hire/contract for a month, stay a month, month old, month, new moon, moon, full moon, any evil thing that exposes its author to disgrace, a vice/fault or the like, big & bulky, reputable/eminent.
From most, if not all, occurrences in al quran, it seems to imply the period of a month.
