IV.—The Term ‘Hemera.’

Extract

Nearly ten years ago I proposed the term ‘hemera.’ The term is coming into use; but, so far as I am aware, in the majority of cases it is greatly misunderstood. From this cause arise objections as to its use, such objections being based on the misconception that the hemera is a subdivision of a zone. It is nothing of the kind.
