What is the meaning of أنما? Does أنما means only? If so, can you construct a sentence for me in English using the word "only" the same way that أنما would be used? Thank you! Additionally, I've been told this word has another meaning too: In fact/Rather. Is this true?

1-according to general common meaning its NOT mean ONLY( Unless used in the exception or to show difference some thing special -which mean the complete meaning include only but not the form (Composition of the sentence ) its more like ON OTHER HAND /BUT because only sould become at first or end to give its meaning but in this case for انما its just at the middle just like :- ex: الكل يستطيع الاكل انما انا صائمة =every body can eat انما im fasting . ex:كل عائلتي تحب الحلويات أنما أختي تفضل الطعام المالح = All my family loves sweets, انما (unless/except ) my sister prefers saulty food (here its more close for meaning ما عدا / إلا 2- its used for meaning IN FACT just at first of sentence ex: انما المؤمنون اخوة = in fact (انما Believers are brothers ..in this case its just used to show deeper and more confirmation but we could understand the maaning with out mention انما 3-it has meaning of RATHER in the middle of sentence ex: القدس لا تَهُمُّ العرب وحدهم إنّما تهمُّ المسلمين والمسيحيِّين في العالم كلِّه =Jerusalem does not concern Arabs alone,) but=انما( Muslims and Christians throughout the world. ..finally wish i could exploitation my english to give clear meaning similer like i want to say by Arabic ..all the best
