In Hindi too, the word for yesterday and tomorrow is the same. Usually we can understand which from the context. But many times a clarification is needed like prefixing "in the future" or "in the past" to the word in question.

So the word does simply mean "a day around today"?

It literally means yesterday "and" tomorrow, same word. Imagine if word for both tomorrow AND yesterday was "yesterday"

No it specifically means either tomorrow or yesterday. It's weird to explain.
