[Lingtyp] terms for days after tomorrow

[Riccardo Giomi]

Dear Samira,

I cannot cite any in-depth study, and maybe you already know about this,
but just in case: several Southern Italian dialects have terms for at least
up to the third day after tomorrow. A few examples from Gerhard Rohlfs'
dialectal dictionary of Calabria can be found here:

http://calabbrisi.blogspot.com/2018/02/domani-e-dopodopomani.html

In his historical grammar of Italian and Italian dialects, Rohlfs also
mentions forms for up to the fifth day after tomorrow from Neapolitan and
Salentino (Apulia).

Best wishes,
Riccardo
