Well, actually I am north from the Equator, I mean, less than 5 degrees
north, but close enough that "winter" and "summer" have a different

ObConlang. Has any developed a language with words like "summer" and
"winter" that mean different for speakers in temperate zones than from
people in intertropical ones? How do you call your seasons of the year?
