#### Definitions

調
* (obsolete) Alternative form of 朝 (“morning”)
    From: The Classic of Poetry, c. 11th – 7th centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
    Wèi jiàn jūnzǐ, nì rú zhāojī. [Pinyin]
    While I could not see my lord, I felt as it were pangs of morning hunger.

#### Usage notes

Legge translates 調飢 as "great hunger", apparently based on Zhu Xi's glossing 調 as 「重也」 ("grave, serious"). On the other hand,《毛詩傳》Mao Commentary glosses 調 as 「朝也」.
