In Slavic languages *listopadъ (form *listъ 'leaf' and *padati 'to fall') 'fall of the leaves', in sence 'autumn time'. Later, the meaning is concretized and becomes the name of one of the autumn months. In different dialects, the descendants can mean September (Russian), October (Croatian, Old Polish, Slovenian, Russian Church Slavonic, Ukrainian), November (Bulgarian, Belarusan, Ukrainian, Czech, Old Slovak, Polish, Kashubian, Slovincian, Slovenian) ESSJa 15, 145
