define or be defined by another expression of time:

he came a long time before that hour.
Jaron post jaro ili restis tie,
year after year they stayed there.
hodiaux matene, this morning.

hodiaux nokte, tonight.
hieraux vespere, last evening.

state mentioned occurs oftener than the instance cited. An adverb from

Li iros al ilia domo dimancxon, he will go to their house Sunday.
Li iras al ilia domo dimancxe, he goes to their house Sundays.
Li laboris tagon kaj nokton, he worked a day and a night.
Li laboras tage kaj nokte,
he works day and night (by day and by night).
