moments in time

Rick,
Are the points in time associated with classifier "-nji" only parts or times of a day (as the examples indicate), or can they also be specific points within other time periods?  If the latter, then it seems that "fall equinox" would be a point in time, rather than an interval or span of time (classifier "-ndu"), and thus properly belong in classifier "-nji".

>Time:
  -nji  point in time (midnight, sunrise, 6 o'clock)
  -ndu  other times - periods of time (summer, morning, fall equinox,
          childhood, monsoon)
