daygranaried

Daygranaried-a combination between 'day' and 'granary' (a storehouse for threshed grain). Faulkner fuses the words in a participle meaning, "filled with light stored up during the day" and modifying 'leaf and grass blade'.

Used in ALIA: "The house, the study, is dark behind him and he is waiting for that instant when all light has failed out of the sky and it would be might save for that faint light which daygranaried leaf and grassblade reluctant suspire, making still a little light on earth though night itself has come. Now, soon he thinks; soon, now He does not say even to himself: "There remains yet something of honor and pride, of life" (60).
