köken: From older 二(に)六(ろく)時(じ)中(ちゅう) (nirokujichū, literally “2×6 hours [a day]”), with 二(に)六(ろく) (niroku, “two [times] six”) replaced with 四(し)六(ろく) (shiroku, “four [times] six”) to reflect the change from traditional Japanese timekeeping, with twelve hours a day divided into two groups of six, to modern, Western-derived timekeeping, with 24 hours for each day.
köken: From Proto-Finnic *aina (compare Estonian aina), probably borrowed from Proto-Balto-Slavic [Term?] (compare Old Prussian ainat (“always, constantly”) and Lithuanian vienàt (“only”)).
always (mainly in affirmative clauses) · over and over, always, time after time (with the comparative form of the succeeding adjective or adverb) · still; yet
