I think "Daughter of the Morning" would make a great book title.
Thanks for this definition, Naut. I'd never heard this phrase and it's very useful.

I guess we could still use that phrase today Naut, though I expect morning was very early.

My long-known, but not long visited psychiatrist, Scott, was a volunteer worker for the Oxford dictionary folks....the serious group from the University - I don't remember the particulars now but he had to go to England for training. He researched the provenance, encompassing the etymology but more, of words....it was his avocation, and his wife helped him....I just loved it! So I love this series of yours!

In the Book of Isaiah (14:12) in The Bible, it speaks of Lucifer as son of the morning and how he fell. Interesting.

I don't like getting up early and now you do realize that the comment that you left me at my Post has me more confused than ever. Just like all boys, you love to make girls squeal.
