אֶ֖מֶשׁ
𐤀𐤌𐤔
ʼemesh
last night
ʻEmesh refers specifically to the immediate past day or night, often meaning 'yesterday' or 'last night.' In broader usage, it can signify the most recent period prior to the present, distinguishing the previous day or the night before from today. In rare contexts, it may constitute a reference to a period slightly further in the past, but always with a direct connection to the current day or night.

last night
