>>Some of  these names are Akkadian, but some are Hurrian, and some may
be partially  Sumerian.  Simanu is Sivan and Kislimu is Kislev.  Those
are other  examples of the m/w metathesis in the late dialect of
Akkadian they spoke in  Babylon in the time of Nebuchadnezzar.<<





>>>>
Akkadian, Sumerian, Hurrian -- are these all Semitic languages?
 
Do you know or can you figure out what the cognate Hebew roots would be  that 
might correspond to Nisanu - Nissan, or Ayaru-Iyar and so on?
