now
| Morphological Notes | Coordinating conjunction (postpositive particle); no tense, voice, mood, case, gender, or number; functions to connect clauses or sentences. |
| Rendering Rationale | 'Now' preserves the particle’s primary function as a discourse marker that moves thought forward or marks a mild transition without imposing strong contrast. As a coordinating conjunction with no inflection, it structures flow rather than adding lexical content. |
