Examples

“Holonyms: calendar year; year”

“The day was cool and snappy for August, and the Rise⟳ all green with a lavish nature. Now we plunged into a deep shade with the boughs lacing each other overhead, and crossed dainty, rustic bridges over the cold trout-streams, the boards giving back the clatter of our horses' feet:[…].”

“Trump’s July 8 announcement of a 50% tariff on copper imports beginning August 1 sent prices surging 13% in one day, up to a record⟳ high of $5.69 per pound.”

“August, Charis named her, because that's when she was born. Warm breezes, baby powder, languorous heat, the smell⟳ of mown hay. Such a soft name⟳. Too soft for her daughter, who has added an a. Augusta, she is now — a very different resonance. Marble statues, Roman noses, tight-lipped commanding mouths.”

“AUGUST[ 2017]: [Mark⟳] Zuckerberg and [Priscilla] Chan's second daughter, August, is born.”

“Thirteen year old August is the eldest; he begins to pull⟳ the kite downward. Like⟳ his sister and brother, June and July, he has been named after the month in which he was born.”
