Usage notes
  • To some speakers of the Urmian dialect it can mean both tomorrow and yesterday; this is the suggested word for tomorrow in Iraqi Koine, with ܬܸܡܵܠ‎ (timmāl) being for yesterday.
    Such speakers use the phrases ܩܘܼܕܡܹܐ ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܹܗ‎ (qudmē dʿḇīrēh, literally “tomorrow that passed”) and ܩܘܼܕܡܹܐ ܕܐܵܬܹܐ‎ (qudmē d-ātē, literally “tomorrow that will come”) to disambiguate.
