+ Of place ''adhūc'' means “to this place, thus far”.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) Its usual sense is of time: “up to now, so far”, “up to then”, “already, by now”, and “still” of something that goes on when it might have stopped.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) With a participle or adjective it means “while still”, and of the future “any longer, further”; it also means “still more”.^(OLD 2012)
