Yea, that was my guess too, but the semantics of the word confused me. _Diurnus_
would rather mean 'day', or '24-hours period' (Russian 'sutki'). What reflexes
do we find in romlangs? Sp. _ma�ana_, Po. _manh�_ < VL _*maneana_ (?) 'early
[time]'; It. _mattina_, Fr. _matin_ < L _m�t�t�nus_ 'morning' (adj.); Ro.
_dimineaT�_ < smth like *de-mane-tia, I would assume. How does _zrn_ fit the
picture, I wonder?
