noun . A low rent brothel usually built in a shanty with a narrow door:
"It was divided into two small chambers, one of which, about six feet square, was used as a reception-room, while the other was known as the "workshop". In the former there was seldom any furniture except a built-in window-seat and a chair or a couch....The "workshop" was just large enough for a three-quarter size iron bed, a wash-stand with a marble top, and a kerosene stove upon which always bubbled a kettle of hot water. Otherwise the room contained a tin wash-basin, a large bottle of lysol or carbonic acid, and a small chest or trunk, in which the prostitute kept her street attire." [ Asbury 1933: 255]
The occupants of the cribs charged the lowest rates of any of the Barbary Coast bordellos: from twenty five cents for a peek to two dollars for the works. The girls paid from two to five dollars for a night's rent.

Crib Definition from Religion & Spirituality Dictionaries & Glossaries
`Ereb (Hebrew) Evening twilight; equivalent to the Sanskrit sandhya. See also SANDHI ; TWILIGHT {SD 2:252n; see ref from "Crib"}
Crib (Hebrew). See EREB; SANDHI; TWILIGHT
Crib (Hebrew). See EREB; SANDHI; TWILIGHT
Sandhi, Samdhi (Sanskrit) [from sam together + the verbal root dha to place] That which combines or unites; the interval between day and night, twilight; also the period at the expiration of each yuga (age), or between two manvantaras or kalpas. Equivalent to 1/10 the duration of the yuga and lasts until the commencement of the next yuga. Such is the way the time periods of the yugas are calculated, whether according to divine years or solar years. However, when attention is concentrated solely on the dawns and twilights (there being a dawn and a twilight for each such time period in a yuga), every dawn and twilight conjoined is 1/6 of the length of each such time period: in other words, a dawn or twilight is 1/12 of the length of such period. As an example, a mahayuga of 4,320,000 solar years (or 12,000 Divine Years, 360 solar years making one Divine Year) consists of four minor yugas -- the krita, treta, dvapara, and kali, decreasing in length by the Pythagorean scale of 4, 3, 2, 1 respectively. Thus counting in Divine Years, the krita is 4800 such years long, the treta 3600 such years, the dvapara 2400 such years, and the kali 1200 such years. Otherwise phrased, the krita is 4000 years long plus 1/10 thereof -- 400 years for its dawn and 400 years for its twilight. The treta is 3000 years long plus 1/10 that period or 300 years for its dawn and 300 years for its twilight. The dvapara and the kali are calculated by the same rule. With solar years, the system can be illustrated by stating that the kali yuga is 360,000 solar years long, 1/10 of that period or 36,000 years each for its dawn and its twilight, the total comprising the full duration of 432,000 years. Thus the 2/10 when added are 72,000, which is 1.6 of the total duration; and either the dawn or twilight is 1/12 of the total or 36,000.
Another form of the term is sandhya; whereas sandhyansa is often specifically used for the period ending or closing a yuga and is 1/10 of the length of the age that it closes.

Twilight When used in theosophic philosophy, refers to the sandhya or sandhi, an interval between the light and dark, or dark and light, part of a cycle, smaller or greater, thus the cosmic cycle called an Age of Brahma is 311,040,000,000,000 years, of which 2 percent is the sum of the twilights.
Also used for the four bodies Brahma assumed at creation: night, evening twilight, day, and morning twilight; archaic Hindu legend states that the three higher classes of pitris were born in the body of night, the four lower classes from the body of evening twilight, gods from the body of day, and men from the morning twilight.
In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux were day and night, and their consorts Phoebe and Hilaira were the twilights.
