English, unlike some other languages, has separate terms for "morning" and "tomorrow", despite their common root . Other languages, like Spanish and German, may use a single word--mañana and Morgen, respectively--to signify both "morning" and "tomorrow". </P> <P> According to Max Weber (General Economic History pp23), the German word Morgen also takes on another meaning, specifically, the size of land strip "which an ox could plow in a day without giving out". As such, a "good morning" could mean "a good day's plow". </P> <P> Some languages that use the time of day in greeting have a special greeting for morning, such as the English good morning . The appropriate time to use such greetings, such as whether it may be used between midnight and dawn, depends on the culture's or speaker's concept of morning . </P>
