So I was watching an anime show, and one of the characters keeps saying (what I think to be) あにるえ when referring to his brother. I looked up on jisho and i know あに means elder brother, but what is the るえ for? Perhaps it is unrelated to あに…. (I wonder… is it related to questions? Because most of the time he talks to his brother it is only with questions….)
毎秒は一世一代。I looked up るえ on jisho.org and the first four entries say “Female given name or forename” with the last three having different combinations of kanji. If I was to guess, the character is saying “brother rue”. I might be wrong though. Someone with more knowledge will be able to clarify this better.
兄上 (あにうえ) – it’s a very formal way of referring to one’s older brother. And possibly slightly archaic, I’m not really sure. Others in the same vein are 母上 (ははうえ) and 父上 (ちちうえ).
