ENThe following paper is aimed at presenting the history of O Lith dabar 'still, yet; now'. The meaning 'now' is younger than 'still, yet' and came into being as a result of conventionalisation of implicature. The second part deals with the origin dabar. Author, developing anold hypothesis by Eduard Hermann (1926), regards da-ba-r as containing O Lith. conjunctionda 'and' with added postposition -ba- and deictic particle -r. *daba is probably a calque of Slavonic i-bo 'and too'.
