Possible earlier currency. It has been suggested that the following example shows earlier currency of the adverb as Old English anīehst (in a different sense: ‘last (in a series), in the last place’), on the assumption that the adverb is at least partly < a- prefix³ + next adj.:OE Widsith 126 Rædhere sohte ic ond Rondhere.., Wudgan ond Haman; ne wæran þæt gesiþa þa sæmestan, þeah þe ic hy anihst [MS á nihst] nemnan sceolde.However, an alternative interpretation of the passage as showing two words ā nīehst ‘ever last’ (i.e. o adv. and next adv.) is to be preferred.

A. adv.
