almanac

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "almanak" is 'n publikasie wat gewoonlik jaarliks uitgereik word, wat 'n kalender vir die komende jaar bevat, inligting oor astronomiese gebeure, weervoorspellings en ander diverse inligting soos historiese feite, noemenswaardige datums en statistieke. Almanakke is tradisioneel gebruik vir praktiese doeleindes soos landbou, navigasie en astrologie, maar vandag word hulle meer algemeen vir verwysing of vermaak gebruik.
