First use Genesis 1:14–18 ("lights in the vault to separate the lu-ti from the no-lu-ti"; the greater light-body governs lu-ti).

Composition

lu (light) + ti (time/temporal sequence) = light-time = the time- period defined by light. Head-final: ti (time) is head; lu specifies the defining quality of the temporal period — the kind of time characterized by light.

Definition

daytime; the light-period; the temporal interval characterized by the presence of light; daylight hours. The named temporal phase defined by lu (light). Pair: no-lu-ti (W141: nighttime).

Notes

lu-ti / no-lu-ti (W141) form a minimal pair covering the two alternating temporal phases of the daily cycle. Together they partition the day into light-period and dark-period. Promoted from Monitor: originally marked compositional and low- priority, but high corpus frequency in Genesis temporal framing and frequent recurrence in temporal-frame contexts justifies active registration. Related temporal forms: ti-mi (W109: now), ti-de (W041: past), ti-be (W040: future), ti-re (W103: next cycle/day).

lu (primitive: light), ti (primitive: time/sequence), no-lu-ti (W141: nighttime), lu-mu (W139: light-bodies that govern lu-ti)
