- Should INF.KNW remain its domain while its thing kind is corrected to calendar month? boundary
Attested name equivalence
Connect spellings through evidence without changing registry granularity.
Paoni name forms

- Does the document use the Coptic sequence or a historically different calendar convention? definition
Day range and occurrences
Separate valid month-day labels from year-specific intervals.
Paoni day validation
Accept day numbers 1-30 for the Coptic interpretation; require a year and era to identify a unique occurrence.

- Is the reference to Paoni generally, an annually recurring day, or a particular year's interval? boundary
Paoni date resolution Determine whether a dated reference contains enough information for conversion.
Historical calendar selection
Identify the calendar rules applicable to the document's Paoni reference.

Second month of Shemu

What it is Filled
Paoni is the tenth month of the Coptic calendar, consisting of 30 days.
In scope
- Paoni as a recurring named month and its distinction from an occurrence in a specified year
- Attested names and spellings with language and calendar context
- Month position, valid day numbers and neighbouring-month relationships
- Requirements for interpreting and converting dates containing Paoni
- Links to seasonal classifications and day-specific religious commemorations
Out of scope
- Complete rules and history of the Egyptian and Coptic calendars
- Independent models of other months or individual calendar days
- Biographies of saints and histories of commemorated events
- The Valley Festival as an independently modelled religious event
- Actual weather, crop maturity and agricultural operations
- Theology and institutional organisation of Coptic churches
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to recognise Paoni as a named calendar month, interpret dated references to it, and determine when conversion or commemoration lookup is justified.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Test calendar membership and ordinal position: Paoni denotes month ten in the Coptic calendar. [St-Takla month introduction](https://st-takla.org/books/en/church/synaxarium/10-beona.html)
- Test day validity against a 30-day month; a purported Paoni 31 needs correction or evidence of a different convention. [Paoni overview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paoni)
- Distinguish the recurring month from a date such as 12 Paoni and from a particular year's complete month interval.
- Treat June-July correspondence as a conversion claim requiring a calendar convention and year, rather than identifying Paoni with either Gregorian month.
- Require linguistic and calendrical evidence before treating a similar spelling as Paoni or merging another registry entry.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Confuse Paoni with the similarly named month of the ancient Egyptian civil calendar without saying so.
- Give a fixed Gregorian date for a Paoni day without allowing for leap-year shifts.
- Misstate the dates of observances that fall in Paoni.
- Mock the traditions attached to the month.
Only with a human decision
- Publishing a calendar of observances for a parish or community.
May
- Explain Paoni as the tenth Coptic month and its approximate Gregorian dates.
- Note feasts and seasons linked to Paoni, citing church or scholarly sources.
Moral aspects Filled
- Wrong dates can lead believers to miss or misplace observances.
- The month links a living church to ancient Egyptian heritage that deserves care.
Who is affected
- Coptic Christians
- Readers of historical texts
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns it; the Coptic Orthodox Church keeps the liturgical calendar.
