νυνὶ
nŷn
An adverb marking the present moment or current circumstances, i.e., 'now, at this time.' νῦν primarily denotes the time at which the speaker is speaking or at which an action is occurring, with possible nuances of immediacy, present relevance, or contrast with past or future times. In some cases, it can mark a logical transition (e.g., 'now, therefore'), or emphasize the present as distinct from other times.
