Yitzhak,
If ANI can mean "It is I," perhaps that is what it means in Isaiah 47:8 and 10, especially since it is translated as EGW EIMI in the LXX (I believe) which also means "It is I." But here it is not in response to a question, "Is that you?," but in a setting of self exaltation. (That also got me thinking of John 8:58).

How would you say, "It is I" in Hebrew? Are there different ways?
Yigal gave you an example in Modern Hebrew.
In 1 Kings 18:8, you see an example from Biblical Hebrew: "Ani."
