From Old Japanese of unclear derivation:
- Probably originally a compound of 吾 (a, Eastern Old Japanese first-person pronoun) + の (no, possessive particle) + 兄 (ye → e, “eldest sibling”):[1]
- ⟨a no2 ye⟩ → */anʉʲɨe/ → /ane/
This word is an apophonic form of 兄 (ani, “elder brother”).[2]
- Several other theories have also been suggested.[1]
