What is the Japanese word "anue" mean?
I've heard this word but I can't find it translated anywhere. I might have it spelled wrong, but I'm sure its either "brother" or "sister". I've heard it for both.
Natsume Maya uses it to call her brother in Tenjou Tenge.

Brother is onii-chan and sister is onee-chan. If there was no suffix attached, its probably for an intimate relationship (intimate as in, you've known each other forever and are BFFs you pervs!) between people who feel as if they're siblings?
If you've heard it used for both "brother" and "sister", its probably a gender ambiguous word like "sibling."

Itsumo means 'Always' I pratically know only this word in Japanese because I watch the anime Fruits Basket all the time. The opening song goes "Let's be together itsumo." which is very pretty!

It's 兄上(あにうえ) ani-ue when it means 'brother', and 姉上(あねうえ) when it means 'sister'. These refer to elder siblings, and are somewhat out of use.

I think it's;
姉(ANE)

Maybe it means, like, something for close person. Because brother is onii-san or onii-chan, and I think sister is something similar..not sure, though.
