winter

The Greek that is translated as “winter” (or “to winter”) in English is translated in Lambya as “wet season.” Winters in Malawi are the cool season when it is dry and quiet weather, here winter stands for stormy and wet weather which makes traveling across the Mediterranean dangerous. (Source: project-specific notes in Paratext)

In Sayula Popoluca it is “the cold season” and in Tenango Otomi “the cold rain season.” (Source: John Beekman & Harwood Hess in Notes on Translation, March 1963, p. 1ff.)
