† aˈnoven, adv. Obs.
Forms: 1 on ufan, 3 on-, anuven, 3–5 anoven.
[f. an prep. + ufan adv. ‘up, above’ (= Ger. oben), properly dative case of uf- (Goth. uf) ‘up, upward.’ An-ufan, anoven, was thus nearly a synonym of b(e)-ufan, boven, a-bove: cf. on-foran, afore, and be-foran, before. Superl. anovenast.]
