I am not sure if that what you know about my guesses is important;
this is an opinion of my which you reject or accept, no more no less.

Your example with Catalan "ahora" is "hac hora"= this hour, right now,
now. The same for "hoc anno" and "enguany". It is _not_ the same to
say "over" and to understand "that". Of course, do not take it
personally, it is just my opinion.
