kaitou | '-ing' words wanted (Reply)

I think this coming November I'm going to take another stab at the same Nano project I tried and failed at last year. Where a guy takes local trains all across an empire to get to the ocean...where he's convinced that the world will end. Believe it or not, this is a happy story. But anyway...I figure it will go better if I start doing all my world building, try and make it really rich, since Location is such a key thing for it. And of course, being Nano, I want to stretch my word count as ridiculously as possible.

So I decided that instead of saying 'March' I'd say 'the month of Fog.' Keen, huh? one word to four! And then I decided to make the months follow elements, but not four, the Chinese five elements, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. Those will be the 5 seasons, each with three months. The 1st and 3rd month of each season is a noun that doesn't have a special plural form. And I want the second to be a Verb, perferably an -ing verb. I'm missing two for Water and Fire...any ideas?

Water:
1. Ice
2.
3. Fog

Wood:
1. Moss
2. Planting
3. Grass

Fire:
1. Light
2.
3. Smoke

Earth:
1. Soil
2. Harvesting
3. Stone

Metal:
1. Silver
2. Making
3. Glass

Also, all the towns are named after various Gods. Each region in my 'world' will have cities corresponding to a certain Mythology, and so you can kind of trace where country boundaries used to be before they were swallowed by the empire. Anything you're particularly interested in seeing? Must-have God/dess names?
