Distinguishing anyūna from anūna

Your results also include anūna (अनून), a different but related word meaning:

• “not less, not inferior; whole, entire”

The two overlap semantically, but:

• anyūna negates nyūna (“deficient”).
• anūna negates ūna (“less, diminished”).

Both ultimately mean “not lacking,” but anyūna is the form specifically built on nyūna and is the one you asked about.

Summary

Anyūna is a Sanskrit adjective meaning “not deficient, not less, complete, entire.” It is used both literally (e.g., “not fewer than ten”) and figuratively (“complete in qualities”), and is formed by negating nyūna, “deficient.”
