Usage of the word acullá

Question

WordReference translates acullá as "yonder." Is this a word that was only used in the past, or is it still used in modern Spanish today? If so, what regions does it appear in and how is it used?

Answer 1

I remember hearing acullá from my grandmother long time ago. She was looking for her comb everywhere in the house. My mother asked her:

¿Qué pasa? (What's wrong?)

And my grandmother answered:

No puedo encontrar mi peine aquí, allá ni acullá! (I can't find my comb here, there and yonder[?]!)

So my best guess is that acullá means más allá (over there maybe).

Answer 2

I lived in Costa Rica for 2 years studying mostly the Bible. I have never heard that word, even in the Bible. Doesn't mean it's not a word, but I've never heard it.
