Morning Chris - I had 12d as 'night' - I'll have to check and get back on that one - my iPad is running very flat 🙀

^^^ 'Night' might well be correct.

'Nox' actually means 'midnight' so, technically, neither answer is correct!

Hi all, as the complete clue for 12d continues as 'known as a mare' , I think that the answer is 'Night'.

Having only half a clue doesn't exactly help!
