Continuation from <yesterday, today, tomorrow>
morning - a-sa あさ（朝）, a-sa-ga-ta あさがた（朝方）
daytime, noon - hi-ru ひる（昼）, hi-ru-ma ひるま（昼間）
evening - yu-u ゆう（夕）, yu-u-ga-ta ゆうがた（夕方）
night - yo よ（夜）, yo-ru よる（夜）
<ga-ta がた> means "around (about)" in the above so < a-sa-ga-ta あさがた> means "around morning" and <yu-u-ga-ta ゆうがた> means "around evening".
<hi, ひ 日> of <hi-ru ひる> means "day" and "day time".
<ru > is used both in <hi-ru ひる> and <yo-ru よる> but the origin is not well known, and the stress (intonation) differs - hi-ru (ru is stressed) but yo-ru (yo is stressed).
<yu-u-be ゆうべ> means "evening" as well as "last night" or "yesterday evening".
