Hi Oscar,

If you delete the message you're replying to, when that isn't 
relevant to your own, it saves on space (and makes it easier to read 
quickly).  You can also change the "subject" line if you're starting 
a new topic, so that people looking through the archives can tell at 
a glance what your message is about.

As far as I know, "yesterday" isn't attested.  As you may know, the 
cognate of the English word does appear, but with the 
meaning "tomorrow" (GISTRADAGIS).

'in þamma afardaga' = "the next day"
'fairnin jera' = "last year"

I suppose * 'fairnin daga' (not attested) might express the idea, 
but whether this is actually how Goths said "yesterday", I don't 
know.
