The Equal Month Calendar is used. It is called the Ibnaleiks Almanaks 'Equal Almanac' in Wistra Gutisk. However, the WG version came into use nearly 200 years before Cotsworth's reform proposal in 1733. The main difference between the WG almanak and the proposal by Cotsworth is that Leap Day is on Iainúar 1 and is called New Year's Leap.

From "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll:

 

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

Mostly Guthlansk:

'Tawas gatandei, jah slindeigs þausnadragkam

Uswalugiðai jah grób in biwaiba;

Allis wainhalks wesun bórógrófam,

Jah fralusans raþei ur-bramblestistla.

 

Mostly borrowed:

'Twas brillig, jah sliþeigs tófam

gyriðai jah gimbl in weib;

Allis mimseigs wesun bórógrófam,

Jah móm raþei útgreib.

 

'Tawas from ita (n. 3rd p. sg. pron.) and was (3rd p. sg. pret. of wisan)

gatandei from gatandjan "to make burnt" plus -ei (nominal suffix)

slindeigs from P.Gmc. slimaz (cf. O.N. slim, O.Fris. slym) and lind- "mild" plus -eigs (adj. suffix)

þaus-nadr-agkam from þausus "badger", nadr "snake", and agkja "leg" plus -am (strong n. pl. dat. ja-stem) lit. badger snake with legs

uswalugjan means "to swirl" and gróbjan means "to make a hole" and comes from the noun gróba

biwaiba means "surround"

wainhalks from wainahs "miserable" and halks "weak"

bórógróf- also borrow from Carroll; -am (strong m. pl. dat. a-stem) all non-initial f's become the voiced fricitive [v]

using popular interpretation, I use fralusans meaning "lost"

raþs in Guthlansk means "easy, effortless, facile".  There seems to be different meanings from Carroll (green pig and land turtle), so I'm just using his word with a nominal suffix -ei

ur-bramblestistla from ur- prefix meaning "out", bram- meaning "roar", blests means "snort", and -istla from OE hwistla meaning "whistle" plus the a-stem suffix -a

 

ugly - uggleiks; derived from ON uggligr

On a hill, a sheep that had no wool saw horses, one of them pulling a heavy wagon, one carrying a big load, and one carrying a man quickly. The sheep said to the horses: "My heart pains me, seeing a man driving horses". The horses said: "Listen, sheep, our hearts pain us when we see this: a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself. And the sheep has no wool". Having heard this, the sheep fled into the plain.

Auhmistin, lamb us-wullái sahw aihwam, ains þáim þinsands kaurus wagns, ains farjands mikils kauriþa, jah ain farjands manna sniumudo.

Habands fanþ þis, sa lamb þláuh ana-auja.

sa alþeis riqis

ana drutans kelikn?

 

Who shall see the clouds gather,
the heavens bending
upon crumbling hills,
the sea heaving,
the abyss yawning,
the old darkness
beyond the stars
falling
upon fallen towers?
