\Here\, n.
Hair. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
\Here\, pron.
1. See {Her}, their. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
2. Her; hers. See {Her}. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
\Here\, adv. [OE. her, AS. h?r; akin to OS. h?r, D. hier,
OHG. hiar, G. hier, Icel. & Goth. h?r, Dan. her, Sw. h["a]r;
fr. root of E. he. See {He}.]
1. In this place; in the place where the speaker is; --
opposed to {there}.
He is not here, for he is risen. --Matt.
xxviii. 6.
2. In the present life or state.
Happy here, and more happy hereafter. --Bacon.
3. To or into this place; hither. [Colloq.] See {Thither}.

4. At this point of time, or of an argument; now.

Note: Here, in the last sense, is sometimes used before a
verb without subject; as, Here goes, for Now (something
or somebody) goes; -- especially occurring thus in
drinking healths. ``Here's [a health] to thee, Dick.''
--Cowley.
{Here and there}, in one place and another; in a dispersed
manner; irregularly. ``Footsteps here and there.''
--Longfellow.
{It is neither, here nor there}, it is neither in this place
nor in that, neither in one place nor in another; hence,
it is to no purpose, irrelevant, nonsense.
