Toward sunrise (4)
I believe the answer is:
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">toward sunrise</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for east that I've seen before include "Oriental lands" , "English region" , "Direction of the Orient" , "Chinese, perhaps" , "Tom's schoolfellow" .)
