I don't think there are any other examples.  However, they appear in
CONVERSATIONAL KLINGON as {'eq} "He is early" and {paS} "She is late."  (Or
did I get the "he" and "she" reversed?)  This suggests that the words refer
to activity prior to or after an expected time.  {paS} would mean "be
tardy," not "be toward the end of a time period."  {paS pem} would mean
something like "The daytime didn't arrive on time," not "It's late in the
day."

There is too little evidence to be certain of this, though.
