Lamba-aasta

Lamba-aasta ehk kitseaasta^[1] on osa Hiina kalendri 12-aastasest loomade tsüklist. Lammas on tsüklis kaheksas loom. Seda sodiaagimärki on tõlgitud mitmeti kuna hiina sõna yáng tähendab täpselt tõlgituna 'kitslane'. See on taksonoomiline alamsugukond, mis hõlmab nii kitsi kui ka lambaid.^[2] Kitse/lamba-aastat seostatakse sümboliga 未 (wèi).^[3]

↑ A Lunar New Year With a Name That's a Matter of Opinion, Chris Buckley, New York Times, Feb. 18, 2015: "The reason is that the word for the eighth animal in the Chinese zodiac's 12-year cycle of creatures, yang in Mandarin, does not make the distinction found in English between goats and sheep and other members of the Caprinae subfamily. Without further qualifiers, yang might mean any such hoofed animal that eats grass and bleats."
