Turkish is a very ancient language, that goes back to 5500 years, and perhaps even 8500.
Turkish just shows the same thing as from Persian Indo European language and where the word came from.
Remember:
TANRI meaning "God" and AN meaning "time".
You have nothing to comment on because you have nothing to bring forward, since it is where it comes from, you wanted an Indo European Language as evidence.
Further more it's the same for Sumerian language where all languages came from
In Sumerian AN=time.
It was your quote:
Ohh yes there is......I did just that, this just shows you ignorance.
Then you come up with:
Sumerian vowel-consonant words
an: n., sky, heaven; the god An; grain ear/date cluster ('water' + 'high') [AN archaic frequency: 806].
v., to be high.
adj., high.
prep., in front.
Just shows you arguing with your self, because you ran out of arguments because of the truth, "your way of covering it"
Why sure.
YER, WET, AT, all related to time.

One more thing, classical Latin as you know it derives from "Old Latin" but you did know that right ? and old Latin derives from Indo European languages.
So you are a... Student of History......
This shows your unability to lose, so it is said masonry makers better men, I can't really see it. You are a perfect example, I would say you swim in pride.
I can't really see where that is the case when it comes to Latin.
Why do you continue to link websites that are not peer reviewed? Turkish developed form older languages and was not widely spoken until after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Latin is older.

What it ment in Old Latin before it became Annus probaly the same, on, to, at.
It is the root from annus I showed you in the dictionary, it;s where it came from, and before the Proto IE root it meant time in other IE langueges, Sumerian.
You might say why it is the root of Annus. There is no other place it would of came from, you can't say it's hocus pocus, and it came from somewhere. There is no Annus in the Proto IE dictionary, IT DOES NOT EXIST, , there is only AN, and AN from IE came to become AN-NUS in later Latin really simple, it;s where it evolved from, there is no other place where it could of came from.
You keep asking for sources that I posted, I already showed you the source for Persian, I know you are going to say that Latin is older than Persian. Latin is only 2000 + years old and that is about it.

EmeGir/Sumer e,š,e~i,-, ùs-an =sunset,evening (-an=time locative); šuš, šu=throw down, to set
The Locative Ablative and Ablative of Time
The ablative after prepositions of place or time denotes location in place and time. This is to be distinguished from the accusative after the same preposition which indicates motion into, down under, toward, etc. Place: the preposition is omitted with the names of cities, towns and small islands, with a few idiomatic expressions (like terra marique, loco, regione, parte, etc.), and frequently when a noun is qualified by adjectives denoting some part of the whole: summus, imus, medius, totus, omnis, cunctus, universus. Time: the ablative of time is used to indicate 1) a point in time at which something happens, 2) a period of time during which something happens: this is similar to the accusative case and is found more frequently with negative verbs (it did not happen within this time span) than with positive verbs (it happened during this time span). Although the accusative's sense that something happens during is different from the ablative's meaning that something happens within, still one finds examples in Classical Latin of some confusion between the two: tota nocte continenter ierunt = "they travelled continually through the whole night (Caes. B.G. I. 26). ita se Africo Bello per quinque annos, ita deinde novem annis in Hispania se gessit ... = "For five years in the African way, and then for nine years in Spain he acted that way..." source
This shows everything pointing to this fact, I have provided you with 3 langueges all saying the same, plus the Proto IE root dictionary.
Neither did year in Latin it was "to" ,"to do" " to go" as in a time line, then later it meant 10 months then even later it meant an year, the words evolved from the Proto IE and IE languaeges. Of course to, to do to go of course came from IE.
You got the dictionary from the Proto IE root word, it's identical, this shows yet more ignorance from you.
An=On, at.
Annus= at.

Wow it's time.
Now let's see who the Etruscan are.
It is further clear that AN=TIME, it also represents the sun from the word ON all having to do with "ANCIENT SUMER", the sun & god AN.
This from Persian connects very good:
in Solem. On, Ani, is the Sun, An means "time,
AN=ON as shown in the dictionary.
How am I a liar ? I posted facts because I beilive in something to be true, maybe it is you who is trying to win something.
"Nothing meant time or year in Latin" the notions and the meaning came from the Indo European Languages for that matter it evolved to be gradual from IE words like AT and AN.
You did me a favor, I was searching for Old Latin and what stage was the word into in Old Latin before it got transformed into ANNUS, I knew it came from AN but I wanted to see how it looked. Now we know.
The same word comes from the very same AN and ANO in Proto IE ANO= circle, circle = cycle time look it up.
Your Anno, take a very good look at it.

Sticking on the big picture here, as a reminder is what we were after in the first place to see the origins of AN
and to see if AN is time in the Sumerian culture, regarding our time god and it's relation to Saturn.
It did in the very beginning, it's why it was picked as a root word, AN=TIME.
Fine. I however do not care what a travel website or a Yahoo Answers link has to say. Please see the peered reviewed texts at the bottom of my link that explain Turkic is not as old as Latin. ItS precusor language may be older but Turkic (Turkish) is not.

So now you are saying it meant 'on', 'to' or 'at' in Latin? There are countless numismatic, archeological and literary usages of Old Latin.

You have no source for this other then your own opinion.

The Sumerian word for 'time' is not 'an' it is 'ud'. Use the Sumerian Lexicon I linked and stopped making things up.
The Old Persian word for 'time' is 'uaqt' which is fairly close to the Sumerian word I had to educate you on earlier.

And how exactly does this help your position?
Wow, it is not. We covered this already, but just to have it be crystal clear, answer this: if the phrase time/locative equals 'time' then how many words equal time when you use the control+F function and search for 'time' in the various Latin Lexicons? You will literally find hundreds of words that are modified by a time/locative that does not use the word 'an'.

But the most important thing is that 'an' does not equal 'time' in Latin. The easiest way to disprove this would be to link a Latin dictionary that has the word 'an' and give everyone the definition. Will you do this? Probably not.
'AN' MEAN IN LATIN?You said 'time', I said oyu are incorrect. Prove yourself using Latin.
Incorrect. Annus meant the Roman equivalent of what we now call a year. Just because the used a different measure of the year does not mean it was not a year to them. In Latin, to a Latin speaker, annus meant 'a year'.
WHAT!?! What does linking the modern Latin word for year have to do with anything? 'Annus' was the original Latin usage and the modern usage is 'anno'. What do you constantly have to obfuscate things by using pointless links with no information? There is nothing there, only the word 'anno' and its definition. No explantion to back up your assine claim, nothing.
wapedia.mobi...
In Rome, the word annus originally meant "ten months" (from the month martius to december), but later came to mean "twelve months".
LOOK UP THE WORD 'AN' IN A LATIN DICTIONARY AND SEE IF THE DEFINITION IS 'TIME'. IF IT IS NOT, YOU ARE WRONG. ARE YOU ADULT ENOUGH TO DO THIS?

So an unrelated non-Latin language led to Latin using a word that you allege? Then you find out otherwise and are are now trying to change your tune. See the bolded part? This is what I mean by you being dishonest. You say one thing and then try to change it to another after the fact. You keep throwing out so much bullcrap that you can not even keep track of what you said or what you mean.
This is eactly what yourpoprock said it meant, 'Are you going OR are you staying'. It is an ADVERB, 'time' is a NOUN. They are not related otherwise it would indicate that. What do you not understand? Look at the word below 'annum, it is 'anser' the Latin word for 'goose'. Does the 'an' in that word somehow denote 'time'? Thought not.
Your example is wrong. Look up the Persian word 'uaqt' and tell me what it means.
That is not a source. It is an opinion with out footnotes and is not a peer-reviewed history of ANYTHING. It is, sadly, the basis for this entire arguement. A shodily written and feebly researched 'book'. Who, besides you, actually uses it for history? Show me its relevance in a modern historical text.
You did not use the correct words. What do 'ud' and 'uaqt' mean in Sumerian and Persian?
Who gives a rat's ass about Turkish? You just said, at the top of this post, that it is unrelated. Everyone knows this yet you continue to use unrelated languages to prove your miserable point.

Another source you post as not valid, interesting.
Nothing had to do with time in Latin, it was, to, to do to go, year did not even exist as I showed you, and it all came fro IE langueges.
To go as in a time line, there was no time line in Latin so they took words from IE langueges.
AN in latin means just about that , are you going.
I don't see where "TO GO" or "are you going" they are almost identical.
First.
It has two NN's they were added later, anything with two NNS were added later, proto IE langueges did not have words with two NN's
And this just shows my case, Sumerian Anum is also AN in another name same thing everywhere you look.
Anum, I know it has not two NN's, blasphemy......
www.sron.nl...
logogram: AN = Anum the god of heaven, Sumerian AN
Just shows I'm right.Bingo!
You may change back to annus, there is a name for the sky god AN too as ANUS.
Second , I may remind you the word year did not exist until later, it meant 10 months and before that it was just a time line like "to go " AN=are you going", same darn thing.
I gave you the Proto Indo Eurpoean word, it is 'hetnos'. This is the orginal word, the one that predated all the other languages that you mentioned and it is from this word that the Latin word 'annus' is derived.
Big deal. It still does not help your original arguement that 'an' equals 'time' in Latin. Maybe if you said 'uaqt' in Persian means 'time' you would have had a better, and more accurate, arguement.
Why are you disregarding the Persian Lexicon I linked which shows the Persian word for time is 'uaqt'? Show me where the Persian Lexion states that 'an' equals 'time'.
You are right, I got the dictionary. I read the dictionary. I posted the results and you tried to take a different tact. The Proto Indo European word is 'hetnos'.
Which contradicts what you first insisted it meant. Please see the 'recap' post above for your meandering dissertations on what the word 'an' means/meant/should mean/you hope it means/you feel it should mean/etc.
Oh, I see. You looked it up and found what it meant but are trying to write it off as a 'dialect'. No, it said 'Persian' not 'Fantasy Persian Dialect that Pepsi Prays for'. If it is a dialect PROVE IT.
Oh, boy. Now you really stepped into it. If you are going to come at me with a topic it really should be one you know about and one that I do not know about. Sadly for you Roman history is not one of these. Ask yourself this; when was the Roman Republic first founded? (Hint, it was much more the 2,000 years ago).
Surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin in its broadest definition. It includes a polished and sometimes highly stylized literary language sometimes termed Golden Latin, which spans the 1st century BC
en.wikipedia.org...
Old Latin (also called Early Latin or Archaic Latin) refers to the Latin language in the period before the age of Classical Latin; that is, all Latin before 75 BC.[1] The term prisca Latinitas distinguishes it in New Latin and Contemporary Latin from vetus Latina, in which "old" has another meaning.
Next, ask yourself this; What language did they speak? (Hint, it was not Turkish, Kurdish, Persian, Dacian, Ebonics, Jive, etc.) Next, ask yourself this; Did they invent Latin the day the Republic was founded? (Hint, no, it must have existed prior.)
Do you even think about things prior to posting? For the sake of arguement I will overlook the fact that you used a BLOG as a source. What this person is saying is that Etruscan has NO relation to Latin, contradicting what you posted earlier. You continue to grasp at straws while you sprial down the vortex of ignorance.
Really? So what you are saying is that the Latins had no word for 'time'? Hmmm. Be a good little school boy and look up the words 'tempus temporis' and 'tractus' and get back to everyone.
Genius. One is an adverb the other is a noun. They are completely different.
No one was disputing the Sumerian word for their Sky God. The arguement was about your ignorance of Latin (which sadly still persists). All you did is run around in a big circle. Maybe you should stick to telling everyone that Satan is Anu. Most people on here do not speak or read Sumerian and may by your story without investigating.
The Roman '10 month' WAS a year until it was revised into 12 months. Either way they had a word for 'year', it was annus.
Stop trying to rewrite history and stick to trying to actually learn about it for once, people may start to take you seriously if make an effort in this regard.
Pepsi,
Stop. Just stop.
You have been PROVEN incorrect time and time again. Then after evidence is presented to prove what you BELIEVE as false, you simply reply "show me the evidence".
