The word aan means "a/an." Unlike English where "a" is used with words that begin with a consonant and "an" is used with words that begin with a vowel, aan is used for all words.

Oftentimes aan is cut from regular speech. For example, zu'u lost aan zahkrii "I have a sword" would usually be shortened to zu'u lost zahkrii.
