僅か
わずか · wazuka · JLPT N3 · na-adj
a little
🤏 wazuka sounds like was scarce: only a little was left
Wazuka sounds close to the English was scarce, and that is the meaning: only a tiny amount. The kanji 僅 joins 亻 (person) with 堇, a part also found in 勤 and 謹, so a person with barely enough. It shows up in phrases like 僅か三日 (only three days).
