Observe that we can bisect a day into two ⚀clock periods (semi·days), each 6 ⚀dwells long (equivalent to 60z ⚀breathers, or 600z ⚀trices, or 10z=|12d hours, or 500z=|720d minutes). But where should we make the partition? The modern Western convention, of course, is to divide the day at noon and midnight, yielding the familiar Ante Meridiem (A.M.) and Post Meridiem (P.M.) ⚀clock periods. These are Latin for “Before Mid-Day” and “After Mid-Day”.

Hence the ⚀clock periods are combinations of two adjacent ⚀phases each:
