Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καί | kaí} connects this verse to the preceding narrative, while the adverbs lian {λίαν | lí-an} and proi {πρωῒ | prō-í} combine to convey a heightened temporal sense “very early” in the morning.
In context — Mark 16:2
And very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at the rising of the sun .
