The greeting is , with -n on both words, because it is the leftover object of an unspoken : you are wishing someone a good day, not merely naming one. That accusative survives in every fixed greeting, so and work the same way. Duration takes -n too: , no preposition needed. The root also gives for daily and i for dawn, literally to become day.
