「夜明かた」

Rikanisat follows リカニシヤツ, and nisat supplies a documented dawn comparison. The initial rika remains unidentified in this expression. Ri “high” and rik “high place” do not account for the complete rika sequence; rika “whale blubber/meat” has an unsuitable sense. Rika nisat and ri ka nisat test divisions, with ka unexplained in the latter. Peker nisat is a documented dawn-light expression with different sounds. The proposed high-dawn explanation remains uncertain, and the low rating is retained.
