aninit

There is a query about this entry.
Pacific Pidgin English: *andanit.

Bislama: andanit; Pijin: andanit; TSC: andanit.

As in the case of bihain, aninit has been influenced by its usage in English. A technically more correct way to say ‘comes under’ would be long han bilong.

Does aninit long maunten, ‘under (at the foot of) the mountain’, make sense?

See original Mihalic entry.
