I think the contraction for us is plain after ani.

Gramm. i. 264) and cf. the Sicilian sciamma, sciume Ital. fiamma, fiume (ib. 197). But quaere whether in some of these Irish words the s may not represent an Old-Celtic th, Gr. 0, Indo-European DH. That a sound like the sharp English th existed in Gaulish seems certain, see Z3. 77, where Thirona (the Th expressed by a barred D) Sirona is quoted.
