<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Hi Samira,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">In Yaw [itr], a Left May language of Papua New Guinea, there is a seemingly limitless supply of terms for days before/after tomorrow. This is due to the morphology in the language that allows any numeral (except 'one') to be derived as such, starting with 2 days ago/2 days out: eg nineisc '4', ninena '4 days ago', nineineina '4 days out', naninina '10 days out' (nanisc '10').<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Cheers</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Joseph<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Mar 25, 2022 at 1:02 PM <<a href="mailto:lingtyp-request@listserv.linguistlist.org">lingtyp-request@listserv.linguistlist.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Send Lingtyp mailing list submissions to<br>

Dear Samira,<br>
<br>
The languages of the Yam family in Southern New Guinea have <br>
non-compositional terms for the after tomorrow, which are <br>
bi-directional. For example /nama/ in Komnzo can mean `the day before <br>
yesterday' or `the day after tomorrow', or /kayé /can be either <br>
`yesterday' or `tomorrow'. There is a paragraph on these in the Komnzo <br>
grammar <<a href="https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/212" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/212</a>> on page 97.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

Great, thank you!<br>
I think this is the first data I received from New Guinea :)<br>
