"nъ" meaning in Proto-Slavic

See in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Conjunction

Etymology: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *nu, from Proto-Indo-European *nu; akin to Proto-Slavic *nyně (“now”). Parallel to Proto-Slavic *nu (“well, fine then”). Probably originally an adverb, reformed into a conjunction similarly to Sanskrit नु (nu, “now then”) (typically meaning now, at once).
