Note
A plural that fits only the countable uses of sunrise. As a time of day the word usually stays singular and uncountable (we leave at sunrise, not at sunrises), so the plural tends to name individual dawns or their colored skies: winter sunrises. The figurative "great awakening" can be counted too. The same spelling can also serve the rare transitive verb meaning "to phase in": a law that sunrises a tax.
