Catchword: Y V Ulluq Q

Filed under: Inuit, Canada, Science

Part of speech: n.

Quotation: Hazy light started lingering on the southern horizon deep into the months when the sky normally would contain nothing but stars.…The sharp difference between the cold air on the ground and the warmer air above makes a prism that reflects light hundreds of kilometres away.…Mr. Davidson coined a term for the phenomenon: “Y V Ulluq Q,” combining the initials of well-known researchers in the field with the Inuit word that comes closest to describing bright twilight.
