What does orepiphanic mean? The only link Google comes up with for the word is this diary itself...

Enjoy your stay in Perpignan, Emil.

thanks afew,

closest that I come is 'epiphany' -> 'epiphanic'
the 'or' might stem from oral (where the 'al' would be omitted in order to make an expressible word)

that would amount to something like 'experiencing insight through the spoken word'

btw: we're travelling with the family of four + my mother; all enjoying the week stay at Collioure, a near by pittoresque village on the coast

Collioure's a lovely place, and perhaps rather sheltered from the cold NW wind that's dropped the temperatures over the last few days.

Yes, I can get "epiphanic", but "or-" beats me. As a prefix, it might be oral as you suggest. It might concern mountains (oro- as in orography). Otherwise it could concern prayer. Or, in the context, most probably "rising" (cf Orient).
