LīðaThere are many theories as to what “liða” refers. Neopagans use the word to refer to Midsummer; however, the Anglo-Saxon scholar Bede mentions in his treatise De temporum ratione that “‘liða’ means ‘calm’, or ‘navigable’ in both the month and the serenity of the breezes, and the waters are usually navigable.”[2] The fact that the Old English word for “to sail” is “līðan”[3] would seem to support Bede's statement. Bede also mentioned the sailing aspect of ‘liða’ in a second text, writing:
Æftera LīðaThe next month in the Anglo-Saxon calendar was Æftera Līða, (modern English: second ‘liða’), which corresponds to the modern July.[5] See also{{portal|Anglo-Saxon England|Time}}
