IPA^(key): [ja̠ɾã̠ɴ]

Etymology 1

Contraction of Old Japanese phrase にやあらむ, consisting of に (ni, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative form”) of concluding auxiliary verb なり nari) + や (ya, coordinating particle, expressing a question or doubt) + あら (the 未然形 (mizenkei, “imperfective form”) of verb ある aru “to be”) + む (mu, auxiliary verb, expressing a guess or hope regarding an outcome or result).[1][2] Literal meaning is roughly “isn't it so?”
