Note
A plural that exists because dusk can be counted. Most often the word names twilight as a stretch of time, but the plural lets a writer set separate evenings side by side, as in the autumn dusks. Through the color sense it can also name separate dark shades. The same spelling is also the verb: the sky dusks over the bay, meaning it grows dark. An article or adjective in front marks the noun.
