Simple, from Germanic roots. Nune (just now), nuntempe (at the present time). No stress in Esperanto: always first syllable (capital NUN in text isn't capitalized in speech).
Adverb of time. Post (after), poste (later). Postaj (following, coming after). The adverbial -e ending is one of Esperanto's key suffixes.
From Latin hodie.
