What time modifiers do I use for earliest and latest for day before yesterday, 2 days before yesterday, 3 days before yesterday, and so on?

For yesterday's results we give the earliest and latest as below

earliest=-1d@d latest=@d

Simillarly, what could be the earliest and latest for day before yesterday, 2 days before yesterday, 3 days before yesterday and so on?
