Riyan
Etymology
From Old Riyan naod, from Proto-Riyanic *nahṓdu, from Proto-Hirdic *naṯṓchus (“evening”), from Proto-Laenkean *natowcʰos (“night”). The meaning of "evening" remained until around the 4th century where it began to shift in meaning to the amount of time between two evenings. Eventually, this came to be the general term for the period of one day (i.e. 24 hours). This is contrast to ðúl which, though it originally meant "day" in both senses, narrowed to only mean "daytime" (i.e. the period between sunset and sunrise) to accommodate the semantic shifting of naor.
