You need a sumti after {de'i}, so it would be {le cabdei}, but I don't
think that's right either because {de'i} tags a date (i.e. a number,
the name of a day), for example, {li 2005 pi'e 4 pi'e 26 cu detri 
le cabdei}. So I would say {ca le cabdei}. Someone suggested
a convention like {de'i li ni'u pa}, "date -1", for yesterday, and
{de'i li ma'u pa}, "date +1", for tomorrow, so {de'i li ma'u no}, 
"date 0" could work for today.

Yes, they always attach to the preceding word. At the start of
the utterance they modify the whole bridi.
