Rare enough to double-check
nú is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadverb, transcribed [ˈnʉu]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "nun, jetzt, schon (Zeit(punkt)); gegenwärtig".
nú doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. No close-neighbour confusable shows up for this headword in our dataset, since nothing in our dataset looks or sounds close enough to cause mix-ups.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct German form is nú, spelled N-Ú.
