Senses
1. yesterday, formerly, in time past — A temporal adverb meaning 'yesterday' or more broadly 'previously / in time past,' used in both literal and idiomatic expressions (especially in the phrase תְּמוֹל שִׁלְשׁוֹם 'yesterday and the day before' = 'previously'). All three clusters share the same adverbial meaning with different prepositional frames: bare/conjunctive (eng: yesterday / and-yesterday, spa: ayer / y-ayer, arb: أَمْسِ, hin: कल, kor: 어제, swa: jana / na-jana), comparative with kaph (eng: as-yesterday, spa: como-ayer, arb: كَـ-أَمْسِ, kor: 어제처럼, swa: kama-jana), and ablative with min (eng: from-yesterday, spa: desde-ayer, arb: مِنْ-أَمْسِ, swa: kutoka-jana). All translations converge on the same temporal sense. 8×
