<p>Dear Samira,</p>
<p>The languages of the Yam family in Southern New Guinea have
non-compositional terms for the after tomorrow, which are
bi-directional. For example <i>nama</i> in Komnzo can mean `the
day before yesterday' or `the day after tomorrow', or <i>kayé </i>can
be either `yesterday' or `tomorrow'. There is a paragraph on these
in the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/212">Komnzo grammar</a>
on page 97.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Christian<br>

<div>Dear Lingtyp list,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A student of mine is collecting data on lexemes denoting
consecutive days after tomorrow in East Caucasian (and
neighboring) languages, and we were wondering if anyone here
knows of any typological research that discusses the encoding
of this concept (or perhaps more broadly systems of naming
days and their diachronic development), or any
language-specific work that explores such terms in some
detail.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In some East Caucasian languages, there are unique,
non-compositional terms for the day after tomorrow, the day
after the day after tomorrow, for up to 6 days after tomorrow.
We have been able to find some languages that also have a
non-compositional term for the day after the day after
tomorrow, for example, but we can't seem to find anything more
elaborate than examples on internet fora or short sentences in
reference grammars.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Best,</div>
