II.4 in questions, τίς ν.; τί ν.; who, what, why now? [Refs 8th c.BC+ (8th c.BC: Ilias Homerus Epicus “Illiad” 5.373, 1.414, 4.31)]; ἦ νυ..; [Refs 8th c.BC+ (8th c.BC: Odyssea Homerus Epicus “Odyssey” 6.125. [In signf. I always _perispomenon_ In signf.

[Refs 5th c.BC+ (5th c.BC: Pindarus Lyricus)] passim, also in [Refs 5th c.BC+ (5th c.BC: Sophocles Tragicus “Ajax” 87, “Tr.” 92, etc.)]; 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+ (5th c.BC: Sophocles Tragicus “Philoctetes” 468, compare “OC” 1333; ἀπό νύν με λείπετ᾽ ἤδη [prev. author] “Ph.” 1177 (Lyric poetry); μετά νυν δός 5th c.BC: Euripides Tragicus “Supplices” 56 (Lyric poetry))]; νυ (always enclitic) precedes other enclitics and allows only δέ to precede.] (Cf. Sanskrit nú, n[umacracute], nūnám, O[Refs 5th c.BC+ (5th c.BC: Euripides Tragicus)] nū 'now', etc.)
