Толковый словарь английского языка - february
February
february
noun (plural -aries or -arys) Etymology: Middle English Februarie, from Old English Februarius, from Latin, from Februa, plural, feast of purification Date: before 12th century the second month of the Gregorian calendar, Usage: Dissimilation may occur when a word contains two identical or closely related sounds, resulting in the change or loss of one of them. This happens regularly in ~, which is more often pronounced ˈfe-b(y)ə-ˌwer-ē than ˈfe-brə-ˌwer-ē, though all of these variants are in frequent use and widely accepted. The y heard from many speakers is not an intrusion but rather a common pronunciation of the vowel u after a consonant, as in January and annual.
