Is there a special name for the twilight before sunrise? As in, say if sun rise is at 5AM, it will be somewhat bright outside at 4AM. This can be called twilight, but this is generally considered the time before sunset. I suppose you can call it dawn, but I would like to know if there is a special name for it, like "the gloaming", another word for twilight.

I heard that there were seven levels/layers of Hell, but I also heard that there were 19 circles of damnation [I'm guessing this also means Hell]. Are they the same, or are these two totally seperate subjects?

I am the poorest amateur Latin fan you will ever find, but I'm trying to figure out a word or phrase, either by just learning the actual Latin word or synthesizing one someone who knows better Latin than I do would recognize.

I need a word for "visions," or "waking dreams." Just "seeing" or just "dreams" isn't enough. I mean, like, the psychic / messages from God kind of visions, but not specifically sacred.

The best I could figure out was dream = somnium and to wake = expergiscor but I'm stumped on combining the two.

Please help if there is a real word or in coming up with a new one.

I watched a certain movie in my class.
A teacher of kindergarten used these two phrases when he scolds his students in the movie.

What is difference between "Quiet!" and "Shut up!" ? I want to know.

Then, if you are a teacher, which phrases do you use when you scold your student?


Please give me your ideas.
