In the qep'a' 23 new words list
<https://www.kli.org/activities/qepmey/past-qepamey/qepa-chamah-wejdich/new-words/>,
there's a bit about time travel
<https://www.kli.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Time_Terms.png>, and one of
the examples is
*jIvIbHa'. wejHu' jImev.*

Okrand's explanation suggests that the "number + time periods ago/from now"

to. It seems reasonable that, in the right context, *wa'leS* could be used
to mean "the next day".
