Definitions

調

1. (obsolete) Alternative form of 朝 (“morning”)

   • 未見君子、惄如調飢。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, trad.]
     未见君子、惄如调饥。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: The Classic of Poetry, c. 11^th – 7^th centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

     Wèi jiàn jūnzǐ, nì rú zhāojī. [Pinyin]

     While I could not see my lord, I felt as it were pangs of morning hunger.

Usage notes

Legge translates 調飢 as "great hunger", apparently based on Zhu Xi's glossing 調 as 「重也」 ("grave, serious").^[1] On the other hand,《毛詩傳》Mao Commentary glosses 調 as 「朝也」.^[2]
