ἡνίκα δὲ ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψῃ πρὸς κύριον, περιαιρεῖται τὸ κάλυμμα. hHNIKA DE
EAN EPISTREYHi PROS KURION, PERIAIREITAI TO KALUMMA.
V. 16 is generally considered to be a re-worked quote of Ex 34:34,
though no longer applied to Moses but to New Covenant believers
generally (note that in NA27 the verse is in italics):
ἡνίκα δ᾽ ἂν εἰσεπορεύετο Μωυσῆς ἔναντι κυρίου λαλεῖν αὐτῷ περιῃρεῖτο τὸ
κάλυμμα ἕως τοῦ ἐκπορεύεσθαι καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐλάλει πᾶσιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ
ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ κύριος. hHNIKA D᾽ AN EISEPOREUETO MWUSHS ENANTI
KURIOU LALEIN AUTWi PERIHiREITO TO KALUMMA hEWS TOU EKPOREUESQAI KAI
EXELQWN ELALEI PASIN TOIS hUIOIS ISRAHL hOSA ENETEILATO AUTWi KURIOS.
I think that explains the unusual use of hNIKA.
