ghobe';  wa' mu' 'oHlaw'.  {Hu'} "days ago seems to form compound nouns - 
at least with relatively small numerals.  Cf. {wa'Hu'} "yesterday (one day 
ago)" and {cha'Hu'} "the day before yesterday (two days ago)" in TKD.

BTW DloraH could also have written {vagh jaj ret} - three separate words - 
as described by Okrand in HolQeD 8.3:

   The words {ret} ["period of time ago"] and {pIq} ["period of
   time from now"] could also be used with days, months, and years
   (e.g., {wej jaj ret} "three days ago", rather than {wejHu'},
   but utterances of these are not particularly common, sound a
   bit archaic, and are usually restricted to rather formal settings.

Note {wejHu'} "three days ago", again written as one word.
