Kugaban

Kugaban is the Kankanaey word equivalent to Yesterday.
Luman is the Kankanaey word for Tomorrow
Lawas is Kankanaey word for Weekdays
The days of the week in Kankanaey are the same with other local languages(Lunes, Martes, Miyerkules, Huwebes, Biyernes, Sabado, Domingo.) However, native Kankanaey speakers would use different spellings. It seems like, any l, r and d are substitutes to each other if they are within a word. H and K seems to substitute each other if they are first letters of a word. Hence, Martes=Maltes=Madtes, Miyerkules=Miyedkules=Midkules, Huwebes=Kuwebes=Kwebes.
