** א ''ă'' before historical liquids, and non-sibilant fricatives (/j/ doesn't count as a fricative): א מֿענין ''ă mhenin'' = the wife, א ףֿר'עקארץ ''ă fhŗegărț'' = the answer

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

* ~~Words~~ beginning in ''d z t ț'' don't lenite: אן תּוֹרה ''ăn Tură'' 'the Torah'.

* Feminine nouns beginning in ''d z t ț'' don't lenite: אן תּוֹרה ''ăn Tură'' 'the Torah'.

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