أَنْفٌanf pl. آنُفٌ وَأُنُوْفٌānuf wa-ʾunūf: nose; also the beginning of anything, as the summit of a mountain. Since among the Arabs the nose was regarded as the seat of honour and pride, the sense of self-respect derives from it. ﴿وَالْاَنْفَ بِالْاَنْفِ﴾ (Al-Māʾidah 5:45)
اٰنِفًاanifan (active participle (ism fāʿil), in the accusative because it is adverbial): at the start, just now, a little while ago. ﴿مَاذَا قَالَ اٰنِفًا﴾ (Muḥammad 47:16)
