itty

Playfully very small

Itty is informal for very small or tiny, almost always paired with bitty: an itty-bitty kitten, just an itty-bitty piece of cake.

The reduplication emphasizes smallness with childlike or affectionate overtones.

Itty alone is rare but occasionally appears: that itty thing.
