I have a recollection that some while ago, I read about a language that had a fairly rich system of tenses - hodiernal, hesternal, and a few pre-hesternal ones, even. However, this language had a complication!
Several of the tenses covered non-contiguous bits of time, some even being used both when referring to some particular bit of the future and some particular bits of the past.
If anyone happens to know a source that mentions this language, tell me! - or if it's a conlang and my recollection is very flawed, or if I have dreamt it all up some night. Or if someone's been pulling my leg somewhere. If comments don't work, I can be reached at moc.liamg@okkeim (obviously reversed).
