厘りん毛もう

noun

trifle; farthing; tiny amount

Rare, literary word for an extremely small or negligible amount, often used in negative contexts to mean 'not even a trifle'. The kanji 厘 and 毛 both refer to very small units, reinforcing the sense of insignificance.

• 彼かれの話はなしには厘りん毛もうの真しん実じつもない。

  There is not a grain of truth in his story.
