Greek Adverb

νῦν (for νυν, νυ, see infr. II), adverb now, both of the present moment, and of the present time generally, οἳ ν. βροτοί εἰσιν mortals of our day, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; so in Ionic dialect and Attic dialect, οἱ ν. [ἄνθρωποι] men of the present day, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ὁ ν. τρόπος, τὸ ν. βαρβαρικόν, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; Βοιωτοὶ οἱ ν.[Refs 5th c.BC+]the present, [LXX+5th c.BC+]; μέχρι ν. (variant{μ. τοῦ ν}.) [Refs 1st c.BC+]; τὰ ν. simply, ={ν}, [NT+5th c.BC+] 2) of the immediate past, just now, but now, ν. Μενέλαος ἐνίκησεν [Refs 8th c.BC+] 3) of the future, presently, ν. αὖτ᾽ ἐγχείῃ πειρήσομαι [Refs 8th c.BC+]; compare νῦν δή, νυνί. 4) sometimes opposed to to what might have been under other circumstances, as it is (or was), as the case stands (or stood), as a matter offact, ν. δ᾽ ὁ μὲν ὣς ἀπόλωλε [Refs 8th c.BC+]; καὶ ν. even so, [Refs 5th c.BC+] 5) coupled with other Particles, τὰ ν. γε [Refs 5th c.BC+]; ν. δή, see entry: with other expressions of Time, ν. σήμερον, ν. ἡμέρη ἥδε, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; ν. ἤδη henceforth, [Refs 5th c.BC+] (anapaest meter), etc; ν. ἄρτι but now, [Refs 5th c.BC+] II) enclitic (but see below) νυν, νυ. [νυ only Epic dialect, Boeotian dialect, and [Refs 4th c.AD+]; νῠν twice in [Refs 8th c.BC+]; ῠ [Refs 5th c.BC+], ῡ in Comedy texts [Refs 5th c.BC+]; both quantities in τοίνυν, which see] II.1) rarely of Time, now, perhaps so used in [Refs 8th c.BC+] II.2) in Epic dialect mostly as a particle of emphasis, ἧκε δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ Ἀργείοισι κακὸν βέλος· οἱ δέ νυ λαοὶ θνῇσκον [Refs 8th c.BC+]: frequently coupled with other Particles or Conjs, ἦ ῥά ν. [Refs]; ἐπεί νύ τοι[Refs] II.3) in commands or entreaties, μή ν. μοι νεμεσήσετ᾽ [Refs] come now![Refs 5th c.BC+]; so in Boeotian dialect, ν. ἔνθω [Refs 5th c.AD+] II.4) in questions, τίς ν; τί ν; who, what, why now?

In codices usually perispomenon in both senses, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; even νῠν is written νῦν in codices vett. [Refs 5th c.BC+] passim, also in [Refs 5th c.BC+]; hence νυν may frequently be restored where the sense requires it. The accent of τοίνῡ?~Xν perhaps shows that both νῠν and νῡν could be enclitic.—Position: in signf. I νῦν can occupy any position; in signf. II it prefers (like other enclitics, but also like{ἄν, δέ, γάρ}, etc.) the second place in the sentence, e.g. πρός νύν σε πατρός [Refs 5th c.BC+]; νυ (always enclitic) precedes other enclitics and allows only δέ to precede.] (Cf. Sanskrit nú, n[umacracute], nūnám, O[Refs 5th c.BC+] nū 'now', etc.)
