アンチカラ
Ainu「夜」
ancikarmedium
Ancikar is independently documented for a night or evening, matching 夜. Batchelor prints アンチカラ with the night sense, supporting the full recorded sequence. Modern ancikar is retained, with ancikara testing the final written vowel and an cikar displaying a possible division. Tamura leaves the second element’s etymology uncertain, so no literal derivation is selected. Narrative night-duration examples corroborate the sense; two untranslated ancikara social-media matches alone do not establish a spoken final vowel.
