  Another important period for the agricultural calendar is that of the ploughing. In this context, a date considered fundamental is the 17th of (k)tuber, in which one may start ploughing his fields. In Arabic, this period is called ḥertadem, that is " Adam 's ploughing", because in that date the common ancestor of humanity is said to have begun his agricultural works.
