T...Perhaps, Rashi really does mean Amud HaShachar. The Yerushalmi (Berachos 1) asks why we treat the twilight period in the morning as daytime and this is not true for the evening twilight. One of the answers is that when the king (referencing the sun, in this case) is coming we refer to him as being present even prior to his actual arrival.
