Okrand has used {wa'Hu'} yesterday (one day ago), {cha'Hu'} the day before yesterday [two days ago, the previous day], {wejHu'} three days ago;  {wa'leS} tomorrow, {cha'leS} day after tomorrow, {'opleS} one day.

Searching {'op} "some, an unknown or unspecified quantity" (n) in PB (cf. http://www.kag.org/wiki/Paq'batlh) I found:

	qeylIS loDnI'
	    'opleS chovan 
	    tuqmaj vIDevmo' (PB)

	qeylIS loDnI'
	    'opleS bIHaghbe' 
	    'opleS 'opleS 'opleS  (PB)

Note also {'op ben} in:

	Deb mojpu' vavDaj yer
	    'ej choSchoHlu'pu' 'e' tu' 
	    'op ben pa' Dab ngan 'ej chep  (PB)

I could find no examples of {Hu'}.
