未曙 (Before dawn: for the first character, the Shuowen says: '未 means flavor (味). In the Five Phases, wood matures in wei; it depicts the dense foliage of branches and leaves. Wood has flavor.' 𰆰 is pronounced like 枝. For the second character, fanqie 常恕 [shù], the Qieyun says: 'Daybreak.' The Kaosheng says: 'Bright.' The Shuowen says: 'Refers to early morning when the sun has not yet appeared; it is formed from 日 [sun] with 署 phonetic.')
