“Holonyms: calendar year; year”

“this glad June day”

“'Twas early June, the new grass was flourishing everywheres, the posies in the yard—peonies and such—in full bloom, the sun was shining, and the water of the bay was blue, with light⟳ green streaks where the shoal showed.”

“Direct⟳ investment liabilities, a measure⟳ of FDI reflected in a country’s balance of payments, fell to just $4.9 billion in the April to June months, down 87% from a year earlier, according to data published by SAFE last⟳ month. That was the lowest amount in any quarter since records began in 1998.”

“Her parents were old, really old. That's why they'd given her such an old-fashioned name⟳. June, because she was born in June. If she'd been born in November would they have⟳ called her November? June was a name⟳ for women in sitcoms and soap operas, the name⟳ of women who knit⟳ with synthetic wool and follow⟳ recipes that use⟳ cornflakes, not the name⟳ of a thirty-year-old with a ring⟳ in her nose ('Oh, June'.)”

“For quotations using this term, see⟳ Citations:June.”
