ᴹQ. immainen adv. “*by any means” (Category: Any)

⚠️ᴹQ. immainen, adv. “*by any means” (Category: Any)
ᴺQ. !ainen “by any means”

The correlative ᴹQ. immainen appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of ᴹQ. imma “any” and the instrumental suffix ᴹQ. -nen.

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹQ. imma “any” too closely resembles the later prefix Q. im- “same”, for purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. ainen “by any means” using hypothetical prefix ᴺQ. ai(a)- “any”; see that entry for discussion.
