day OF forty-four sunsets #99

"Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day OF the forty-four sunsets?" [ = day when addressee had seen the sunset forty-four times] Little Prince ch 6 sent_id = lpp_1943.287

Looks like Characteristic\~Identity, but we think it's more that the day contains 44 sunsets than is merely characterized by them, so PartPortion?

But we don't see precedent for PartPortion with OF - would that be PartPortion\~Identity? We realized we don't entirely understand why Identity is used in the function role for the constructions listed in guidelines as Characteristic\~Identity, so it's hard to tell whether to generalize that.

My hunch is the day on which there were 44 sunsets, i.e. time OF event, so Gestalt.

One could also say "the day WITH 44 sunsets", which would be more PartPortion-like.
