Senjecas has the following:
"dis" = this; "âmras" = day. A contracted word
means 'today.' "dâmras" is the noun, as in "today is the first day
of the week. "dâmris" is the adjective as in " today's
news." "dámrævi" is the adverb as in "We will do it today."
"This day" is translated as "âmras das," because in Senjecas the
demonstrative adjectives are seen as nouns in apposition.
P.S. Since "to-" is derived from a demonstrative stem, "today" is
really a form of "this day," n'est-ce pas?
