Left: 倝 sunrise

(sun 日 rises between plants 艹) [sunset is: 莫], right: horizontal person

, 2nd 乙 (two 二 written quickly without lifting the pen)

At sunrise, the horizontal person feels at second position the warming sun.

	sun rise	The sun 日 rises between plants 艹. The very similar radical 莫 stands for sunset. This seems bizarre, can be argued based on the characters for morning 朝 in comparison to evening 暮.
	lying person	This radical can be seen as a person 人 who has the right leg horizontal 一. He is thus lying. (Further radicals with "person" are: sitting 匕, sitting cross-legged 夂, kneeling ⺈, skilled 才, bending マ,卩, slumped 㔾 or husband 夫)
乙	at second position	Shows the number two 二 written quickly without lifting the pen.
旦	sun rise	The sun 日 above the horizon 一 at sunrise.
