That’s a good analogy, Neville, and it gives us some insight into how they viewed day and night i.e not as equal divisions of 12 hours, but the night being a gap that had to be endured between the more important days. Perhaps if Celts had been on an 18-30 holiday to the Canary Islands, they may have felt the reverse to be true and we would have the word, ‘wythdiwrnod’ instead!
