- a. 500 C.E., Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 87b:
- מִדַּחֲמֵיסַר בְּנִיסָן חַמְשָׁא בְּשַׁבָּא, רֵישׁ יַרְחָא דְאִיָּיר שַׁבְּתָא, וְרֵישׁ יַרְחָא דְסִיוָן חַד בְּשַׁבָּת, קַשְׁיָא לְרַבָּנַן!
- Mi-da-ḥǎmēsar bə-Nisån ḥamšå bə-šabtå, rēš yarḥå dhə-Siwwån ḥad bə-šabbåt, qašyå lə-rabånan!
- From the fifteeth of Nisan being day five of the week, the first day of Iyyar was Sabbath, and the first day of Sivan was day one of the week — this is difficult according to the rabbis!
