+ It is [[af|de|weiter|hin]], the adverbs “further” and “thither, onward”.^(Wiktionary)^(DWB|28, 1284) The Grimms' dictionary quotes it written separately as well as in one word, as in Kaspar Stieler's “es ist weiter hin als sechs uhr”.^(DWB|28, 1284)

+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ The Grimms record it first in space, “further along the way” (Nicolai: ''bis Koburg und weiterhin''), and at the same time of time, “in what follows, from then on” (Herder, Kant).^(DWB|28, 1284) It also meant “beyond that, in addition” in enumerations (Gottfried Keller) and served to continue an argument (Herder, Schopenhauer).^(DWB|28, 1284)
