Line 587:

For feminine nouns when ''not'' accusative and masculine nouns when accusative:

* Nouns beginning with a lenitable consonant (except ''s'', ''ș'', ''d'', ''z'', ''t'' and ''ț'') lenite, and the following rule is applied to the lenited form:

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

** 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 ''s ș d z t ț'' don't lenite: אן סוכּה ''ăn sücă'' = the sukkah (hut built ~~during~~ Sukkot)

* 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.
