*innanē

Runic: ᛁᚾᚨᚾᛖ Pronunciation: /ˈin.nɑ.nɛː/

adverb

Meanings

from inside, from within (ablative direction)

Etymology

From *in + *-anē. The development of the form of the word is uncertain. If the vowel *-a- was not part of the suffix itself, it could have been picked up from similar words, namely *ubanē, in which case the gemination had been introduced by analogy with *inn or *innai. If the original allative form of *inn were Pre-Germanic *en-no, then the ablative could have been built upon that, or as likely the locative *en-noy, which would explain the vowel and the gemination.
