[edit] Etymology

Historically a day was split into two halves:

• afternoon cycle: asa -> hiru -> yū
• evening cycle: yūbe, yoi, yonaka, akatsuki, ashita

While asa and ashita represent the same time period, asa was associated with beginning of the afternoon and ashita was associated with the end of the night. Both terms share an initial as- and are likely etymologically related.
