Etymology 1
From Proto-Finnic *ani (compare Karelian ani, Veps ańi).
Usage notes
Except for some archaic expressions, used only to strengthen the words harvoin, harva (“few”), harvinainen, varhain and varhainen. Sometimes the words are written together, but this is deemed incorrect by language authorities, who decree that ani be spelled as a separate word.
