It loses the symmetry though.

{donri} is not "daylight" but "daytime". I'm not sure if the sun can be
said to be its source. Maybe. (And what would the source of the
nighttime be?)

Also possible are {ctefa'o} and {ctekra}. Or {ctefa'o} and {dorfa'o}.
Or {dorkra} and {ctekra}.

All of these work for "sunrise" and "sunset" as time indicators,
not for the actual event as in "we went to watch the sunset on the
beach".
