third hour

The Greek in Acts 2:15 that is translated as «third hour (of the day)» or «nine in the morning» in English is translated in Mende as «the morning sun is only just getting strong.» (Source: John Ellington)

It is translated as «still early» in Desano, as «up-sun (9 a.m.)» in Chuj, as «still not really high sun at all» in Chichimeca-Jonaz, and as «the sun is barely gone half way to the top» in San Mateo del Mar Huave. (Source: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.)
