Any language that predates Latin. If you can locate a language that is older than Latin and is related that uses the word 'an' to describe the temporal post. I fear, however, that you can not since you have not.
Ah, I see you convienently left out the other examples.

It's not going to say AN, because An it's self is Latin, just like the Sumerian god An was not called An, because these are Latin words based on the Latin alphabet. The letters were translated into AN to Latin, you were expecting Sumerian to have a Latin alphabet ? It is the case for the rest.
The fact that other langueges have AN as year and that short for Annus is AN it should be more then enough to see that Annus comes from the root AN in the first place.
Now for the so called shortened word in your view, for the word AN of course.
I found something that will make you see that I am right and you are wrong.
Words Like Latin-nus or Vulcan-nus the root word is Latin and Vulcan of course. not NUS.
The word nus in Latin is a derivate, anything applied with nus at the end. The root word is AN.
I just proved my point, good luck twisting this in your favor. It's a dead end for you.
AN=YEAR
You did it again. You left out the examples of abbreviations I supplied because they do not fit with your agenda. So I guess by your logic 'capt.' is the root word for 'captain', 'gov.' is the root word for 'governor', etc. Pleae explain these oh great and mighty word-master.

Linguistics A word formed from another by derivation, such as electricity from electric.
No, all you did was run around the response. Answer the questions, do not avoid them.
Latin NUS being a derivative
I do find when I feel sexually free, I am so much more in touch with nature, with my true self, and I feel I have a wealth of wisdom, through my desire for carnal pleasure and unrestricted intimacy with another, whether male or female.

Simple, electric is the root name for electricity. Like AN is for An-nus. "Nus" is a derivative, just like "ITY". The word you are using are indeed abrevations, gov and capt. Not in the case of nus like stated.
What is a derivative.
I did, I'm sorry NUS is a derivative, it has nothing to do with abravations, just like stated in the material I gave you.
The whole word is Annus, as in the word for electicity, the root is AN just like with the word Electric.
I guess you are just going to have to deal with it, you got the source with the explenation provided for you.
It's simple that is why it's AN in french and romanian and other langueges because it's without it's derivative.
To go further I would say indo european langueges were more without a mask, a derivative, but it's pointless to do so and provide more evidence since this has been settled since Latin offers me what I want in the first place with the derivative and the root.
Ah, no. Electr (neo-Latin electricus is the Latin root word for both. You never cease to amaze me how many times you can cram your foot in your gob.
Just like mdter-nus, parent-nus, latin-nus and so many others.
Who cares? Irrelevant. We are not talking about derivatives.
nus being a latin derivative
Nus is not a Latin word. Sorry, Please link to a dictionary where it is. Good try though.
Right, keep making things up. It makes you look brilliant. We already determined the root of both words.
And French and Romanian came after Latin which has nothing to do with the word 'an' equally anyting temporal in Latin. Please link anything that disporves this.

The name MANUVANTARA, rearranged letter-by-letter as "TANRA-AN-UVAM", (where letter V can represent V, U and Y as required by the Vedic writers), is from the Turkish expression "TANRI AN'UYAM" (TANRI ZAMANIYAM) meaning "I am time of God", "I am the life duration of God". This definition in Turkish embedded in the name MANUVANTARA shows clearly that the term is made up from Turkish language using Turkish word TANRI meaning "God" and AN meaning "time".
Turkish word TANRI means "universal creator Sky-God", AN means "sky; time", ANU means "rememberance".

Capt and Gov are abrevations, because you made a short refrece to government and captain without any derivations being involved, but the word government contains a derivation, example govern-ment, ment is the derivative and govern is the root word from the derivative term, gov is just an abravation for short word since "it is not a root word from a derivation" then it's just an abravation, there for the difference you do not seem to understand between the two terms.
All having a root word like latin and parent, just like the word An-nus. an=root nus=derivation.
It proves they lost their derivatives and kept the root.
Romanian. AN=year
French AN=year
Venetian AN=year
Old Provençal An=year.
Good luck with this also, you're going to need it.

if this it's what you call deny ignorance
I find it highly ironic that you are attempting to give English lessons when you can not even spell properly.
Let me make this very simple for you as it seems you are having a serious comprehension issue; what is the abbreviation of the Latin word 'annus'?
Do not be intellectually dishonest again and disregard this.
Seriously? Turkish? What the hell does Turkish have to do with you trying to prove that 'an' in Latin means 'time'? Add another language to your butchery list.

Maybe he was in a Turkish prison... so it is very close to him. Who knows?
And for the love of God and denying ignorance, do not attempt to correct those who DO actually KNOW the language when you know nothing of it.
That being said, I am done with this one I think. Feel free to continue, but I am just fed up with dumb and can't take it much more.

I find this ironical, is this your evidence, why don't you be more honorable and stop attacking me in such manner.
What a childish approach.
It does not matter if the abravation is an or as, because the word Annus is a derivative it's self, something you don't want to understand. NUS the derivation AN the root, like I showed it the source I provided to you, that is why so many words in Latin end with NUS like "Latinnus" , it's a derivative.
Don't need pride to win, just want the truth, to show you it is the truth.
Just like I told you and just like I showed you that NUS is part of the derivation, I also gave a source, so AN is the root.
Look to the title of this page, it's called "Latin Derivatives", ANNUS is on the list, it's a derivative.
Here you go to prove it's a derivative:
latinisenglish.files.wordpress.com...
Prove me wrong. It's not intellectually dishonesty, it's evidence.
It shows a non Latin language, and the meaning of AN, it talks about god AN and it's meaning sky god AN=sky, time. It showes where the word AN comes from and it's meaning and where it originated from and where Latin got it from.
But you would argue for Turkish so now for Indo European Langueges my friend, where Latin came from.
The roots of the language can be traced to Central Asia, with the first known written records dating back nearly 1,300 years. source
Persian belongs to the Western group of the Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family.
It's what you asked for, where Latin came about to be from, Indo European Langueges.
It's clear what the root word is, and where Latin got it from.
It is you who wants to win a lost argument with everything pointing against you.
For haps it's pride ?
Now that we got over the silly AN word thing.(or maybe you would like to prove me wrong)...
There is no root word for 'annus'. You continue to assert this but there is no historical, educational or etymological evidence to support you. Only your opinion. If you can prove otherwise LINK SOMETHING.
Jesus H. Christ on his ever-loving throne. Are you suffering from some sort of cranial-density disorder? The site you linked is for English words derived from Latin words. It is NOT a site about the actual root of the Latin word.

(from the late Latin moder-nus, derivative of the classical Latin modo, meaning "just now" or "in a certain manner").
Turkish came AFTER Latin. After. Not Before. After. As in later. As in it does NOT predate Latin. After.
allaboutistanbul.tripod.com...
Turkish is a very ancient language, that goes back to 5500 years, and perhaps even 8500.
TANRI meaning "God" and AN meaning "time".
Please do not bring yet another language into your already muddled arguement, you have done enough injustice to several other languages. Please spare the Persians this grave injury.
