RFV of etymology 2, the "army, enemy" senses. I can only find the historical "an army in the Anglo-Saxon era" sense, and that only italicized to indicate that it's the Old/Middle English word. - -sche (discuss) 20:04, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

is here

[edit]

Perhaps is here is an idiom with a special meaning along the lines of "has arrived".

  1. #Flu season was here.
  2. #Flu season is right here.

neither here nor there

[edit]

What meaning is used in neither here nor there? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Neither in this place nor in that place. It's a metaphor, a figure of speech. You are taking it too literally. Equinox 17:40, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hence/hither as ablative/lative cases, respectively

[edit]

ablative reads

Here/hence/hither, there/thence/thither, and where/whence/whither are the only English words with separate forms for the ablative (motion away from) and lative (motion towards) cases.
