Omeina has a whole slough of terms for times of the day, especially for the
periods around sunset and sunrise, which are culturally far more important
than the remainder.
Este = early evening (but only with a clear blue sky)
Elde = as este but with a few stars clearly visible
Ilduna = time when many stars first begin to appear
Irieru = the time just before dawn breaks (lit. 'Dawn-praise')
Hauri = light sky, but Sun not yet visible
Arnu = bright day
and so on...
