# ܐܒ
## Assyrian Neo-Aramaic
### Etymology

From Aramaic אָב (ʾāḇ), from Akkadian 𒌚𒉈 (Abum); also borrowed into Arabic آب (ʔāb) and Hebrew אָב ('áv)

### Pronunciation

* (Standard) IPA: [ʔɑbː]

### Proper noun

ܐܵܒ • (āb) m
* August (eight month of the Gregorian calendar of thirty-one days, following July and preceding September)
* The fifth month of the Assyrian calendar.
* Av (eleventh month of the Jewish calendar of thirty days, following Tammuz and preceding Elul)

#### 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 for ܛܲܒܵܚ (ṭabbāḥ) to be used more often, due to August 7 being ܝܵܘܡܵܐ ܕܣܵܗܕܹ̈ܐ ܐܵܫܘܿܪ̈ܵܝܹܐ (yāwmā d-sāhdē āšorāyē, “Assyrian Martyrs Day”)
