《雨霖鈴》 - 柳永 （宋朝)

Hán chán qī qiè. Duì cháng tíng wǎn, zhòu yǔ chū xiē. Dōumén zhàng yǐn wú xù, liúliàn chù, lán zhōu cuī fā. Zhíshǒu xiàng kàn lèiyǎn, jìng wúyǔ níngyē. Niàn qù qù, qiānlǐ yān bō, mù ǎi chén chén chǔ tiān kuò. Duōqíng zìgǔ shāng líbié, gèng nà kān, lěngluò qīng qiū jié. Jīnxiāo jiǔ xǐng héchù? Yángliǔ àn, xiǎo fēng cányuè.

寒蟬淒切。對長亭晚，驟雨初歇。都門帳飲無緒，留戀處、蘭舟催發。執手相看淚眼，竟無語凝噎。念去去、千里煙波，暮靄沉沉楚天闊。多情自古傷離別，更那堪、冷落清秋節。今宵酒醒何處？楊柳岸、曉風殘月。此去經年，應是良辰好景虛設。便縱有、千種風情，更與何人說？

《雨霖鈴》 - 柳永 （宋朝)

寒蝉凄切。对长亭晚，骤雨初歇。都门帐饮无绪，留恋处、兰舟催发。执手相看泪眼，竟无语凝噎。念去去、千里烟波，暮霭沉沉楚天阔。多情自古伤离别，更那堪、冷落清秋节。今宵酒醒何处？杨柳岸、晓风残月。此去经年，应是良辰好景虚设。便纵有、千种风情，更与何人说？


夜

Characters in the same phonetic series (亦) (Zhengzhang, 2003)
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 /形声, OC *laːɡs): phonetic 亦 (OC *laːɡ) + semantic 夕 (“moon”). 夕 (OC *ljaːɡ) may also serve as another phonetic component.
The lower-right portion is a corruption/graphical variant of 夕 (xī); the remainder (亠 + 亻) is a reduced and distorted form of 亦 (yì), used phonetically.
From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ja-n (“night”) (STEDT); cognate with Mizo zân (“night”), Burmese ည (nya., “night”).
Schuessler (2007) believes 夜 (OC *laːɡs) and 夕 (OC *ljaːɡ) are distinct as Tibeto-Burman keeps the etyma *ja-n (“night”) and *s-r(j)ak (“day; day (24 hours); night”) strictly separate. However, Baxter and Sagart (2014) suggest that 夜 (yè) and 夕 (xī) have clear etymological connections and thus reconstructs similar finals in both words.

Han compound

GT - General Taiwanese (no specific region identified)


夜

⟨yo₁ru⟩ → */jʷoru/ → /joru/
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *yoru.
Derived from yo below, suffixed with an element ru of unclear meaning. Compare 日 (hi, “day”) → 昼 (hiru, “daytime”), which seems to use this same ru element.
Found in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 C.E., with the phonetic spelling 用流.
Now the most common term for night in modern Japanese.

東京の夜

夜の街を歩く

不安な夜を過ごす

夜の星空を見上げる


夜

⟨yo₁⟩ → /jʷo/ → /jo/
From Old Japanese, from Proto-Japonic *yo.

In modern development, this term has taken on a more literary sense.

Natt över Judaland, natt över Sion. Borta vid västerrand slocknar Orion.

1891, “Betlehems stjärna (Gläns över sjö och strand) [Star of Bethlehem (Shine over sea [most likely in this context, though unusual – see sjö (“lake; sea”)] and shore [Maybe to be understood as "land and sea"])]”, Viktor Rydberg (lyrics), Alice Tegnér (music):

Night over the land of Judah, night over Zion. Away by the western rim [horizon], fades [goes out, is extinguished, dies down] Orion.

En kulen natt, natt, natt, min båt jag styrde, på havets vågade, vågade, våg, så skummet yrde. Och vart [än] jag sågade, sågade, såg, på havets vågade, vågade, våg, långt ner i djupettipettipettipett [djupet], en fisk jag såg, och det var du!

(Can we date this quote?), traditional (lyrics and music), “En kulen natt [One chilly night]”:

One chilly night, night, night, my boat I steered, on the sea's wave-a-di [also literally "wave-ed" or "daring" (plural or definite)], wave-a-di, wave, so that the foam sprayed [whirled, spun through the air]. And wherever I look-a-di [also literally "sawed," as with a saw], look-a-di, looked, on the sea's wave-a-di, wave-a-di, wave [Cryptic – intuitively either "And where I looked ..." or "And wherever I looked ..." (where the latter usually has än, but works intuitively without it), with the sentence ending here, but that makes little sense. "And there I saw ..." would make more sense as well.], far down in the depths-deppy-deppy-deppy-dep, a fish I saw, and it was you!

För jag ska ooa hela natten, ooa hela dan [dagen]. Ooa hela natten, skrämma slag på halva stan [staden]. Ooa hela natten lång, tills du upptäcker mig. Ao ao-ao-ao.

Because I'm going to ooh [no specific meaning in Swedish either] the whole night, ooh the whole day, ooh the whole night, scare the bejesus [or "hell/shit," but not vulgar – literally "scare stroke," as in make have a stroke] out of half the city. Ooh the whole night long, until you notice [discover] me. Ah-ooh ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh.

Jag arbetar natt


nocturne

Borrowed from French nocturne (literally “nocturnal”), from Latin nocturnus. Doublet of notturno.

He [James Abbott McNeill Whistler] was then asked for his definition of a Nocturne: “I have perhaps, meant rather to indicate an artistic interest alone in the work, divesting the picture from any outside sort of interest which might have been otherwise attached to it. It is an arrangement of line, form, and colour first, and I make use of any incident of it which shall bring about a symmetrical result. Among my works are some night pieces; and I have chosen the word Nocturne because it generalises and simplifies the whole set of them.”

1908, E[lizabeth] R[obins] Pennell with J[oseph] Pennell, The Life of James McNeill Whistler, London: W[illiam] Heinemann; Philadelphia, Pa.: J. B. Lippincott Company, →OCLC:

When John Ruskin, a sort of pope among the art critics of the time, was faced with [James Abbott McNeill] Whistler’s canvases at the opening exhibition of The Grosvenor Gallery in 1877, he was so outraged that he attacked Whistler in a review, charging him with wilful imposture for “flinging a pot of paint in the public's face.” It seems that Ruskin's main target was Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket (1875).

I was feeling just as I had felt in the old Malvern House epoch when I used to sneak down to [the schoolmaster]'s study at dead of night in quest of the biscuits he kept there in a tin on his desk, and there came back to me the memory of the occasion when, not letting a twig snap beneath my feet, I had entered his sanctum in pyjamas and a dressing-gown, to find him seated in his chair, tucking into the biscuits himself.

店 (CJK)
𡖵 (CJK)
𣈔 (CJK)

y (reduplication)

From Proto-Vietic *teːm (“night”), probably from Proto-Mon-Khmer *btɔm. Cognate with Muong têm, Tho [Cuối Chăm] teːm¹. Compare Semelai petom, Mon ဗ္တံ, Khmu [Cuang] psɨəm, Riang [Lang] sɔm¹.
The Vietnamese words for "day" and "night" and their cognates have the same distribution within Vietic: reflexes of *-ŋiː (“day”) and *teːm (“night”) are only attested in Thổ, Pong and Viet-Muong, i.e. the "innovative Vietic" group, lacking cognates in the generally more conservative languages. Unlike the case of *-ŋiː (“day”) (> ngày), the existence of presyllable (if it existed) in Vietic can not be straightforwardly recovered: the tone of the word is consistently A1 in all languages, indicating what was most likely a monosyllabic root with voiceless onset (what the root is currently reconstructed as). The mismatch of vowels (Vietic showing front vowel, while the rest showing central or back vowels) is probably the biggest hindrance to connect đêm to other AA words. The cognacy between Vietnamese đêm and the other AA words, therefore, might be questionable.
Non-final *t in the non-Northern branches sometimes corresponds to a fricative, an affricate or a palatal stop in Northern branches, cf. *trsam (“right”) and *c₁aŋ (“bitter”) in Proto-Khmuic, whose Proto-Vietic cognates are *tam (> Vietnamese đăm) and *taŋʔ (> đắng) respectively.

15th century, Nguyễn Trãi, “芭蕉 Ba tiêu "Banana"”, in Quốc âm thi tập (國音詩集):

chuāng wài gēng shēn lù zhòng, jīnyè luò huā chéng zhǒng

窗外更深露重 今夜落花成冢

Don't think of me when the night gets deep. Don't think of me when you're grieving. Love the one you originally chose.

Kiⁿ-chhim m̄-bián siūⁿ góa, siong-sim m̄-bián siūⁿ góa, ài lí tong-chho͘ soán-te̍k ê hit-ê pā.

更深不免想我，傷心不免想我，愛你當初選擇的彼個吧。

更深不免想我，伤心不免想我，爱你当初选择的彼个吧。

watchnight

New Year's Eve

whereas watch night is the night that begins at sundown on New Year's Eve and ends with sunrise on New Year's Day

not identical to watchnight – New Year's Eve is the entire day before New Year's Day

And there is one night in the year I have always observed – the good old Methodist vigil called Watch-night, popularly described as "seeing the old year out and the new year in." […] I have only been a Methodist once a year; and peculiar, accordingly, have my watch-night emotions been. There stands the old portico in —— street; can it be a year since I ascended those steps? These are the aisles, the columns, the pulpit, the recess with its inscriptions, the Christmas evergreens yet fresh over the Communion Table – silent preachers all, that seem to say: "You and I are a year older, friend; but we have seen more watch-nights than you, and are likely to see more yet;[…]["]

1861, “Watch-night in the Channel”, in The Sunday at Home: A Family Magazine for Sabbath Reading, London: The Religious Tract Society, →OCLC, page 260:

This was the first watchnight meeting among the Methodists. The people met at half-past eight; the house was filled from end to end; and "we concluded the year," says [John] Wesley, "wrestling with God in prayer, and praising Him for the wonderful work which He had already wrought upon the earth."

1872, L[uke] Tyerman, The Life and Times of the Rev. John Wesley, M.A., Founder of the Methodists. … In Three Volumes, volume I, New York, N.Y.: Harper & Brothers, →OCLC, page 333:

Wesleyan Methodist Twentieth Century Celebration: Order of Watchnight Service to be Held in Every Wesleyan-Methodist Place of Worship in Great Britain on the Night of Monday, 31st December, 1900, Being the Last Night of the Nineteenth Century

[1900], Wesleyan Methodist Twentieth Century Celebration, London, Aylesbury: Hazell, Watson and Viney, →OCLC, cover title:

The first watch night services ever held in Grace Protestant Episcopal Church were but poorly attended, […]

1901 January 1, “Watch Night Services”, in The New York Times, page 2:

Watchnight. December 31 This is a midnight service that summarizes the past year. In recent centuries, the Moravians and early Methodists have celebrated it as a vigil service focusing on newness, the spiritual life, and covenants.

1999, R. Mark Liebenow, And Everyone Shall Praise: Resources for Multicultural Worship, Cleveland, Oh.: United Church Press, →ISBN, page 77:

(Christianity) A religious service involving a review of the past year and preparation for the year ahead participated in by Methodists and members of other Christian denominations which starts late on New Year's Eve and ends after midnight on New Year's Day; hence, the night that begins on December 31 and ends on January 1.

A tumble would have had serious consequences. It had been unforgivable recklessness, but also tremendously sexy. YouTube found the graphic documentation of my mesonoxian madness too explicit but it was present on a few other video sites […]

2014, Malcolm James Thomson, TheodoraLand:

Glancing at the gold clock on the mantelpiece I see that it is already midnight, the most potent time of night for Lazarus witches, so that all our most important events are timed to start to coincide with the mesonoxian hour.
