• Except less literary/formal-sounding, the meaning of fram is usually best captured by English forth. Like forth, fram can mean both forward and out (of for example something being brought out/forth, or coming out/forth (thus appearing into view)). (sense 2) can intuitively be thought of as forth with an often implied "to a destination."
• Used for spatial, either of movement through or of position in space, as well as temporal adverbials; in the latter usage it will often correspond to later on. It is also a particle used in the formation of Swedish phrasal verbs, e.g. "ta fram" = "bring forth" = "bring out, develop."
