This is a problem I've run into often. It's easy to say something like
{wa'leS}, but a lot harder to say something like "one day after that"
succinctly. I also want to avoid words like {wa'leS}, because they won't be
accurate a year from now. I haven't found good strategies for expressing
time, so I try to avoid it (which makes writing about current events
difficult).

chaq {lutDaj choHpu' naSID} vIja'chugh, qaq. vaj...
- pajpu'DI' malDIV DevwI'quv, mo'ameD naSID, vay tlhachmey 'e' botmeH
pajpu' ja'. lutDaj choHpu' naSID.
