ANIKI

There is no Tagalog word aniki that can be found in standard dictionaries.

This is a typographical error appearing in the anthology Panitikan Ng Pilipinas: Sa Filipino at Mga Katutubong Wikain.

It is a misspelling of the word anáki.

Here is the corrected paragraph from the poem Isang Dipang Langit:

Sintalim ng kidlat ang mata ng tanod,
sa pintong may susi’t walang makalapit;
sigaw ng bilanggo sa katabing moog,
anaki’y atungal ng hayop sa yungib.
