imma

any, any at all (in the world/existence); anything

An adjective for “any” appearing in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC). On the page where this first appeared, this was revised to amma then to umma (PE23/99 note #24-25). Despite these revisions, the rest of the document used imma- throughout in forms like ᴹQ. immane “anybody” and ᴹQ. immanome “any place”. The adjective imma could also be used substantively to mean “anything” (PE23/104).

The correlative ᴹQ. immainen appeared in Demonstrative, Relative, and Correlative Stems (DRC) from 1948 (PE23/111), a combination of ᴹQ. imma “any” and the instrumental suffix ᴹQ. -nen.

Neo-Quenya: Since ᴹQ. imma “any” too closely resembles the later prefix Q. im- “same”, for purposes of Neo-Quenya I would update this to ᴺQ. ainen “by any means” using hypothetical prefix ᴺQ. ai(a)- “any”; see that entry for discussion.
