Jamais! 'Twas the use of "1.)" but from a dictionary with a more inclusive definition. Now that I have returned home and have access to my various Wörterbuchen, I see some interesting things. Crepuscule comes from the Latin "crepusculum" via the French "crépuscule". My Cassell's does have twilight as the translation, but has as an example "crépuscule du soir". By extension, since it cites "du soir", one can conclude that "du matin" would also be a valid use, i.e. "morning _or_ evening twilight" would be acceptable. > Or was this a deliberate miscommunagarbulation? Now would be the time to invoke my rights under the Fifth Amendment, yes? ;-} Conrad Hoffsommer You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
