Consider the word โtime.โ We use so many phrases with it. Pass time. Waste time. Kill time. Lose time. In good time. About time. Take your time. Save time. A long time. Right on time. Out of time. Mind the time. Be on time. Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time. There are as many expressions with โtimeโ as there are minutes in a day. But once, there was no word for it at all. Because no one was counting. Then Dor began. And everything changed.
