Near synonyms 2 words

הָלְאָה hâlᵉʼâh · H1973 · beyond, onwards, further: Both function as directional or temporal deictic adverbs—הָלְאָה (hâlᵉʼâh, H1973) "beyond, forth," also temporally "thus far," and הֵנָּה (hênnâh, H2008) "hither, thither"—overlapping in expressing spatial or positional direction.
הֲלֹם hălôm · H1988 · here, in all directions, hither and tither: Both are Hebrew spatial and temporal deictic adverbs meaning "here" or "hither," capable of substituting for one another in deictic expressions.

ὧδε hōde · G5602 · here, in this, in this case: Greek ὧδε is the standard Septuagint rendering of Hebrew הֵנָּה in locative and directional contexts, both denoting spatial deixis—"here" or "hither".
νῦν nŷn · G3568 · now, just now, presently: הֵנָּה (hênnâh, H2008) is a spatial-temporal deictic adverb with primary spatial senses ('here, hither, on this side') and secondary temporal uses ('now'), while νῦν (nŷn, G3568) is primarily temporal ('now') with emphatic/transitional force; the cross-linguistic equivalence holds specifically where הֵנָּה (hênnâh, H2008) is used in its temporal 'now' sense, representing a semantic overlap in one portion of הֵנָּה (hênnâh, H2008)'s broader semantic range.
