But unless mentioning the sun was important for some reason, I might
prefer something like {dorkra} and {dorfa'o} for "sunrise" and "sunset".
Maybe {nundorcfa} is even less ambiguous - {dorkra} could be our central
star Sun, too: the source of daylight.
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".
