I like daymoon. The daymoon stood over Half Moon Bay.
(is that really in use? Daytime-moon? Is nighttime-moon ever used?)Or is the moon just moon? And what about a daytime-star?
Or am I ruining the riddle now?

I know that: * The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill * They have Moonlight in Vermont * and Oh Moon of Alabama, we now must say 'Goodbye' * There's a Moon over Bourbon street * Allagenne Moon, you silver light etc. * I'm being Followed by a Moon Shadow And this moon medley could be way longer, but there is only one song in which the sun and dee daymoon get together and that is a French song: "Le Soleil a rendez-vous avec la Lune"

I like, "the diurnal moon."
(Or noon-moon? midday-moon? antinoctilunar?)

Etymology Formed from Latin nox, by analogy with quotidian.
wwftd-->quotinoctian occurring every night, nightly (phony Latinate? compare quotidian)[edit] Adjective quotinoctian
wiki-->nightly; occurring every night, especially in a routine or uninteresting way. 1997: hectic high-speed star-gazing, not the usual small-Arc quotinoctian affair by any means. — Thomas Pynchon, Mason & Dixon
tsuwm , I highly respect you, but where is the moon in this? The moon is not even visible every night. There are only two entries through one look and one of two is your wwftd
Bona nox, bist a rechter Ochs, is a macaronic lullaby

Bran> where is the moon in this? now I've got to explain myself.. my initial post was a serious question, one asked by a subscriber. I couldn't come up with anything better than 'daymoon', so I asked the gallery. other than your posts, Bran, the only response I got was Hydra's, which sounded like sort of a wisecrack to me, so I responded in kind with an obscure word meaning, roughly, commonplace. the ron obvious answer to him, provided subsequently by jheem, is 'moon'. I still have no response for my interlocutor, who reacted to 'daymoon' thusly: "I’m pretty sure there was another word that I was looking for… I can only remember saying to myself, “Oh, that’s a great word to know,” but I didn’t write it down somewhere to remember it." - joe ( Paul Harvey ) friday
