Nowadays, the term has fallen out of English and Lowland Scots, but is still used in Gaelic for the month of January specifically. It would appear to be a very old term, as it seems to come from Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang meaning a wolf, a creature which has been extinct in Scotland since the 17th century.
The Gaels of old regarded stormy weather towards the end of January as prognostic of a fruitful season to follow, or vice versa, as shown in various proverbs.
Variations
In Lewis, Шаблон:Lang fell on the Friday nearest to three weeks before the end of January, and ended on the Tuesday nearest the end of the third week of February. It was said to be three weeks of winter, and three weeks of spring.
In Irish, the word means February instead of January.[2]
Proverbs
"In Шаблон:Lang, the three furrows side by side should be full of water, full of snow, and full of house thatch." (presumably referring to climate and growth)
"For every mavis that sings in Шаблон:Lang, she’ll lament seven times ere spring be over."
"they wish the Шаблон:Lang in with an adder's head, and to go out with a peacock's tail, i.e. to be stormy in the beginning, and mild towards the end."
