    Comments: Translators have relatively few difficulties in obtaining a satisfactory term for the sun, though there may be a tendency in some languages to add some kind of honorific title to the word, for example, ‘our father the sun.’ Translators’ problems occur, however, with verbs describing the action or effect of the sun. For example, in {S:04001300600002}, instead of speaking of ‘the sun rising,’ it may be more satisfactory to speak of ‘the sun shining’ or, in this particular context, possibly ‘when the sun was overhead’ or ‘by the time the sun had reached the sky.’ In {S:04101302400022} one can perhaps best render the meaning as ‘the sun will no longer shine’ or ‘… will cease shining.’
