Just konotsu for yesterday?

You know what, I've gotten this one wrong, so I'll straighten it all out right here...

"Kokonotsu" is an entirely different word, and it's actually "the day after tomorrow" that I should have put in the title of this post. That word is "asatte", and "ashita" is the word for tomorrow. They are not related words, as far as I know, except in terms of meaning.

There you go, minus 10 linguist points for me!
