Which hawk do these shuls daven before?

Haneitz is not "the neitz", it's the time when the sun "causes sparkling".
The hei is from hif'il (causative), and take a qamatz, not a patach. Even
worse, the Mitzri sun-god had a hawk head, so referring to "neitz hachamah"
is a REALLY weird thing for a Jew to do. (And assur to daven before.)

(Similarly, when a minyan vasiqin davens, none of them are young; but
you could daven kevasiqin.)

Tir'u baTov!
