AI Summary
Here — denoting the place where the speaker or the action is: "in this place" 1234. It is also used of motion toward the speaker, meaning hither, "to this place" 123. This place-sense can be set against "there" 1, and can also express "this way and that" 3.
The word is also used metaphorically, not of physical location but of a present circumstance or point under discussion — roughly "in this case" or "here" in the sense of "at this point" 1.
