What would wolves call the four seasons if thy didn't know human vocabulary?

Answer 1

If dogs vocalized names for seasons they'd refer to the feel of the time.

Human speech evolved this way, by sounding out the noises they heard, and then by inventing sounds for feelings, internal and external, eventually becoming sophisticated speech as we now know it.

So, wild animals might refer to seasons as warm, hot, cooler, cold, in the northern hemisphere, and warm-wet, hot-wet, hot-dry, warm-dry, in the southern.

They'd probably incorporate their food into their sounds for seasons, so, in the north: warm-eggs-smallmeat; cold-digupfood-findsleepingfood; hot-fish-bigmeat; cooler-foodontrees-foodonground-movingmeat...

...they'd have separate word for small parts of seasons which specifically referred to their community; so: warm-findmate; hot-feedbabies; cooler-teachbabies; cold-findgoodshelter...and so on.
