Not mine, obviously, but Klingon has productive suffixes for "days ago",
"days from now", "years ago", "years from now", etc., which can be
applied to any number. THe words for "tomorrow" and "yesterday" are
simply the appropriate suffixes applied to the number "one":
wa'Hu' = yesterday, wa'leS = tomorrow.
