Thank you, Pravin!

Still it's better to be reviewed by a native speaker or at least a person being
able to read the script because even CLDR may be incorrect or a native person
may say "this is correct but not in our context" or "this is correct but you
should also update abbreviated month names" or "this is correct but now date
formats must be corrected" or "the import script failed to convert one
character".

I used the script written by Mike Frysinger:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00214.html  I needed it for
another bug but since I've processed the month names in all languages and 55
turned out to require the update I decided to post the results online rather
than delete because they are not useful for me.  It does not mean the update is
complete because I processed only full month names, nothing else.  Other fields
may need update, too.
