僅う
すくのう · sukunou
僅う is the masu-stem of 僅い — few, little, small (amount), low, scarce, insufficient, seldom, rare.
How it’s built
Masu-stem (連用形). The base for ます, たい and ながら, and the way to link two actions: 書き → 書きます.
This spelling is the version with う (sound change, mostly in polite or older speech).
僅い is a i-adjective, so it follows that pattern.
