** אן ''ăn'' otherwise: אן קֿ'על'אך ''ăn ģhełăch'' = the moon, אן אות ''ăn oas'' = the letter (character)

* Words beginning in ''s ș d z t ț'' don't lenite: אן סוכּה ''ăn sücă'' = the sukkah (tent/hut built for Sukkot)

Note: ~~Historical~~ feminine ~~nouns beginning~~ with s-~~/ș-~~ (except s(stop)-~~/ș(stop)-~~) have all become t-/ț- words (except pluralia tantum and s~~-/d~~- words) ~~following case loss~~ in Proto-Ăn Yidiș: אן תּאַבין׳ ''ăn Taviņ'' 'Halloween' (from ''an tSamhain''). Newer words such as Hebrew loans are not subject to this.

Note: Nouns that were feminine in Old Irish and began with ''s-'' (except ''s(stop)-'') have all become t-/ț- words (except pluralia tantum and obvious derivations from other ''s''-words) in Proto-Ăn Yidiș: אן תּאַבין׳ ''ăn Taviņ'' 'Halloween' (from ''an tSamhain''). Newer words such as Hebrew loans are not subject to this.

For plural non-accusative nouns and feminine definite accusatives take נא ''nă'' and ''h-'' is added before a noun beginning with a vowel.
