In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"; September was in fact the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when the first month changed from Kalendas Martius (1 March) to Kalendas Januarius (1 January).

Titera's Tidbit: Heifer
The Old English word heifer is a wonderful little bit of folk poetry, like whaelrad ("whale road" = the ocean) and Beowulf ("bee wolf" = bear). It probably comes from a kenning, or poetic equation, of a form such as heahfore, "high-farer", meaning something that steps high and proud, as would a "heifer", a young cow that has not yet had a calf.
