Most Esperanto adverbs end in -e, but a small closed set ends in - instead, and the time words are the bulk of it: , , , , . They are roots in their own right rather than derived forms, which is why you cannot strip the ending off. Add -a for the adjective, so hieraŭa is yesterday's paper, and covers the day before.
