question about "fernerhin" in a sentence

Beitrag von edmont »


"fernerhin" according to a couple of dictionaries can mean "in the future" (adverb) or "furthermore" (conjunction). Is there some way to tell grammatically in the sentence below which meaning is being used?


Solche Dinge, sie muß insbesondere der heute wissen, der das Volk erziehen will. Der darf fernerhin nicht in irgendeinem Winkel sitzen und vom Leben nichts verstehen, sondern der muß kennen, was geschehen muß.

Thank you for any assistance.

It's a conjunction.

Thank you tiorthan.
So you would agree that fernerhin thus means "furthermore" or "moreover," not "in the future"...
