Twilve

The English language is lacking a word that defines 24 hours, like e.g. the Scandinavian languages have. There's "day" that can define a 24-hour span, but that can also be used to define the 12 hours of light, as opposed to "night".

"Twilve" is a contraction of the words two/twi and twelve, defining a period of time that is two times twelve hours.
"Twilve" is both a noun, as in 24 hours, and a verb, meaning "stay up for 24 hours".

Verb
"To twilve"
