I would like to know what もなほ here means and what it exactly did to the
phrase? I came across it twice and stuck with it, because I don't actually
know if it's verb or noun or even adverb.

The other phrase was like this:

> 闇もなほ、

question
meaning kana-usage
（花よりもなほ) What does もなほ mean here?
The first phrase 花よりもなほ can be split into 3 words: 花-よりも-なほ. Its meaning is
"more ... than flowers."

なほ seems to be an old representation of the word that is written "なお" today
(which is an adverb). なお is for emphasis in this phrase. なお can typically be
used to emphasize comparisons.

In the second phrase 闇もなほ, なほ seems to be also an emphasis. Its meanings is
like either "Darkness is also ..." or "Darkness is more ...", depending on
context. In the latter case なほ derives a slight feeling of comparison by
itself.
