gisterjaar

Only 64 hits on Google, I never heard this word before. Robin van der Vliet (talk) (contribs) 01:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

@Morgengave, who made the entry. I can find some use on one Belgian blog, but otherwise only scannos. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 08:21, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

While not common, there seems to be a slowly increasing use of the word:

• (1998, NRC Handelsblad): Nu vier regels uit de Ballade van de dames uit vroeger tijd met de bekende slotregel, die trouwens bij Chaucer al te lezen viel over de sneeuwen van gisterjaar. [1]
• (2015, Nieuwpoort Nieuws): Foto’s Van gisterjaar: Marktstraat in Nieuwpoort en het trieste waargebeurde verhaal van Peter ‘ Petje de Kortn’ Provoost. [2]
• (2018, Autofans press release): Aan de éne kant heb je het Opel van gisterjaar met GM-invloeden, aan de andere kant het Opel van morgen onder Franse PSA-vleugels. [3] Morgengave (talk) 13:50, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

@Morgengave Are Nieuwpoort Nieuws and Autofans durable sources? ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 17:39, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

@Lingo Bingo Dingo I don't think so. They don't seem to exist in printed form. Morgengave (talk) 13:43, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

I think it's time to close. I think the citations above are nonce words. The first is a calque of “the snows of yesteryear”, the second intentionally pseudo-archaic, and the third I'm not sure, but it's online only. I found not a single mention in https://gtb.ivdnt.org/search/?owner=wnt, for the entire history of Dutch.
