Alyador has a similar set of words, but they are based on the daily
activity cycles.
xana: 'morning', dawn to 11am (waking and morning rituals time)
xensa: 'day', 11am to 7pm (work time, the most active part of the day)
tanda: 'evening', 7pm to 10pm (rest time)
yensa: 'night', 10pm to dawn (sleeping time)
There are a set of matching names for girls reflecting their time of birth:
Xanari, Xensari, Tandari, and Yensari.
