se’nnight. The Celts, like the Greeks, Babylonians, Persians, and Jews before them, customarily began each day at sunset, this practice giving us the term se’nnight for a week, or seven nights. In Genesis, for example, we find the evening coming before the morning in “The evening and the morning were the first day . . .” The same idea gives us fortnight (14 nights) for two weeks. |
