ニシヤツ
Ainu「暁」
nisatmedium
Nisat is documented for daybreak and the faint light of the dawn sky, directly fitting 暁. The modern spelling represents historical シャ with s and final ツ with t. Peker nisat and kunne nisat are documented descriptions of dawn conditions, with additional elements absent from ニシヤツ. The retained reading is supported as a lexical identification; no exact clock time is assigned.
