CANONICAL LANGUAGE GRAPH
TRACE A WORD ↗the twelfth month of the Gregorian calendar
This English headword node spans the source-reported Old English period through current use; the calendar position changed, but the inherited name did not.
ANCESTRAL EDGES
the last month of the year
DIRECT DESCENDANT EDGES
No reviewed descendants currently reuse this node. Absence describes the graph, not the entire history of the form.
TRANSITIVE DESCENDANT CLOSURE
This is the complete downstream closure currently supported by the canonical graph. Every displayed step is a real reviewed edge with its own sound claim, meaning claim, scholar, confidence, and citations.
No downstream edge has cleared review for this node. This is a graph-coverage statement, not a claim that the historical form produced nothing.
“Every” means every descendant in the reviewed SET-U graph. It does not convert missing scholarship or missing ingestion into a claim of historical completeness. The coverage ledger remains the honest denominator.
RECORDED EVIDENCE
Source-reported Old English period; 1050 is only a sorting midpoint and no manuscript witness was directly inspected.
