    I've never really found the answer to this and I don't know if there
    is actually a literal translation. My thoughts have always run along
    the lines of it meaning "applique of day"....possibly referring to
    the small cells being "applied" (as to a solid sheet of metal) and
    daylight streaming through.  I'd love to hear what others have found
    as there is really so little written on the subject.
