Names for different temre may vary by religion. For example, the Temre of Sleeping is also the Temre of Gruganu and the Temre of Darkness is the Temre of Ksarul to those of that religion; The Temre of Dreams is the Temre of Belkhanu to many worshippers of the gods of Stability; and the Temre of Home is of course dedicated to Avanthe. Using the deity names is a sign of piety (and therefore some tediousness of character), and really devout types will use the names of major aspects of their deity for the temre which are otherwise only used in temple records.

6.00-9.00 First Temre of the Day Temre of Dawn
  
Names will also vary by social class. The Temre of Dreams is when many lower class workers get up, and is thus the Temre of Awakening; the Temre of Labour tends to start soon after that, lasts all morning and well into the afternoon and, after a kiren’s worth of the Temre of Rest, the Temre of the Market appears very much like its continuance under another name. Upper class types will spend most of the night socialising, and so the Temre of Sleeping is thus the Temre of Pleasant Parting.

9.00-12.00 Second Temre of the Day Temre of Labour
  
Here on Earth the day begins (and the date changes) at midnight; in Tsolyanu, it begins at dawn.

12.00-15.00 Third Temre of the Day Temre of Rest
  
Few, bar very persnickety priests, astrologers and magicians who need to time certain rituals to the second, bother too much about the exact kiren and the precise start and stop of a temre, and water clocks are a bit inaccurate in any case. Very snobby nobles will allow themselves to notice the difference between morning and afternoon (and very very snobby ones can tell the difference between night and day, sometimes), but are otherwise indifferent to time.
