Actually, the lower-right primitive isn't quite "walking legs." It's a little more like "evening" with an extra stroke across it (look up the stroke order). So, it helps me to see this kanji for night as: evening plus an extra stroke representing the tuxedo tails to match the top hat which my special person is wearing out on the town...
