Based on the Romance languages, it appears that in late spoken Latin (or so-called "Vulgar Latin"), the expressionhāc hōrā eventually attained the status of an idiomatic phrase for "now, at this moment", and likewiseillā hōrā was used with the sense "then" (as in Frenchlors); however, written Latin texts do not attest to theuniverbation of such expressions withhōra(“hour; time; moment”).[1]
