Many natlangs have a single word for "the day before yesterday" and a
word for "the day after tomorrow." How about your conlang? Have you
lexicalized these concepts? BTW, does Esperanto have words for these?

Kerno does not appear to have this. In the World, Talarian possibly
does (it's a known areal feature). I know the Daine languages have
largeish and complex deixis tables, not just in space but also in
time, in relation and quality.
I don't have the actual vocabulary, though, and the concepts are not
entirely clear to me.

Esperanto has antauxhieraux and postmorgaux. LdP has preyeri and
aftemanya.
