チユツプリイ
Ainu「昼四ツ時」
Cup ri “the sun is high” has dictionary and narrative support, favouring the separated expression. Kayano also uses joined cupri. Cup rii tests the final イ in リイ, without asserting a historical long vowel. The source explicitly says 昼四ツ時; the companion edition has 朝四ツ時. A sun-height description does not select between those headings or establish an exact clock conversion. The lexical reading is supported and the time correspondence remains qualified.
