The simplifying of the reckoning according to lunar months by the application of the decimal system, which was usual among the Romans, and the designation of a term of ten months as a "ring" (-annus-) or complete year, bear in them all the traces of a high antiquity.
In like manner the Roman calendar--and probably that of the Italians generally--began with an independent development of its own, but subsequently came under the influence of the Greeks. In the division of time the returns of sunrise and sunset, and of the new and full moon, most directly arrest the attention of man; and accordingly the day and the month, determined not by cyclic calculation but by direct observation, were long the exclusive measures of time.

The Romans considered that the day began to midnight. When settling down the year (of annus = ring) they determined a duration to him of 10 months (decimal system), but later, through Greek influence, went to the year of 12 months,

English coal, from the Old Norse kol, “burning ember,” and is related to the Latin and French kul, “anus,” as in the Latin anus, “ring,” and annus, “year” (eg. annual), and is likely akin to the Old Irish ánne, “ring,” and the Greek ana, “up, back, again.”
And "annus" means year,
seriously, I cannot understand how you can be this dense. You are a troll. You are intentionally trolling me an everyone else who has commented to you about this. This kind of childish behavior is beyond irritating. Grow up, get out of your mom's basement, and quit trolling ATS.
yep, you got me. Your superior debate skills have triumphed.
I should have seen the old "I am right because I said so" defense a mile away, but I missed it.
I humbly concede to your amazing skills. Congratulations. Don't spend the prize money all in one place.

Give a source from the dictionary so I can look at.
It does AN=TIME just like I showed you in so many languages.
Turkish, Kurdish, Perisan, Etruscan-Hungarian, in IE it's where the root came from.
Persian had many dialects and variants, ajik. Tajik. Dari. Farsi / Parsi, Cyrillic, Cyrillic. Perso-Arabic and many more. I provided two sources saying the same thing that perisan AN=TIME.
It may also come from 'hetnos just like say the word "understanding" , in Latin, intellego, a split word inter - "between", and llegō to-"collect." that is also a greek connection, it's the same for your hetnos, has to do with nus, AN- became annus, not saying it's not a combination between AN and HETNOS.
It does not contradict anything, AN refers to going in Latin exactly where the idea started for a Latin year.
If you were correct the name would be HETNNOS and not ANNUS, you should know that mostly anything invented from another langauage to another when a language is invented will resemble the root, the similarity between the word.
No I'm not Persian is very diverse as in dialects and old variants.
I can sense the passion in you , but classical Latin is just about that, I'm sorry, from all the movies, and all the stories and inflated things, I know it sounds disappointing.
The earliest known form is Archaic Latin, which was spoken from ancient times up to the middle Republican period, and attested in several inscriptions, as well as some of the earliest extant literary works. source
Notable Old Latin fragments with estimated dates include:
The Carmen Saliare (chant put forward in classical times as having been sung by the salian brotherhood formed by Numa Pompilius, approximate date 700 BC)
The Praeneste fibula (formerly attributed to the 7th century BC, but now generally believed to be a 19th century forgery)
The Forum inscription (illustration, right c. 550 BC under the monarchy)
The Duenos inscription (c. 500 BC)
The Castor-Pollux dedication (c. 500 BC)
The Garigliano Bowl (c. 500 BC)
The Lapis Satricanus (early 5th century BC)
The preserved fragments of the laws of the Twelve Tables (traditionally, 449 BC, attested much later)
The Tibur pedestal (c. 400 BC)
source
If you are taking of pre early Latin a non complete language then ok, as I told you they didint even have the word year until later, I showed you that, but you yet insist.
In terms of vocabulary, however, Latin tends to preserve the original forms of many Indo-European roots. Compared to other Indo-European languages of antiquity, such as Sanskrit and Ancient Greek, the word forms in the Classical era are far more reflective of their etyma. Languages such as Sanskrit, however, tend to be more conservative with regards to grammar. source
Meaning that today's Latin is around 2000 years old, and that the old Latin that is extinct was a mix of proto IE in development.
Latin comes from IE languages I'm sorry.
Latin was just one of other Indo European languages spoken in central Italy. Earliest in Latin come from 6th century BC they were written using the alphabet adapted from the Etruscan alphabet, the same Etruscans I told you about with the examples you dismiss with AN=TIME.
I used a blog to show the Hungarian - Etruscan continuity with words, it was not that important, the first source was, it was a dictionary called Etruscan -Hungarian dictionary with all the words that survived from Etruscan into Hungarian. It stated that AN=TIME and NOW.
Yet another silly remark, the blog was only to show you what I was talking about since you did not understand, it explained what was Hungarian-Etruscan continuity at large.
Were talking about the word year, it did not exist until later.
The words share the same meaning, anyone can see that.
No it should be clear where it comes from as another hint, it's becoming more clear.
Sumerian AN sky god and notice "supreme god of time" is also Anu, Anum, Ano of course without two NN's this shows where these notions of words came from, I know make something up and say it's not.
Stop making things up it meant 10 months, the notion of an year is 12 months, that is what an year means, you may be thinking about what they thought to be a cycle, the notion of an year came later.
A year is the period of the Earth moving around the Sun, for an observer on earth, this corresponds to the period it takes the Sun to complete one course throughout the zodiac along the ecliptic.
The notion of 12 months = an year in Rome came later, and not sadly for you it did not mean an year, year means just that, it never meant something else.
This of course to the relation of the name AN=SKY, it's also as I stated early in my post it's where the time line came from, from looking at the sky.
I'm not re-wring anything, there is evidence to sustain what I say, you want to twist things and it's not working for you.
Debunking your friends Hetnos, since my native tounghe is very close to classical Latin I can tell, but I had to look into this crap to make sure.
Hetnos from the greeks,meaning people, culture.
dictionary.reference.com...
Previos know also as "Het Anos" From the greek word "AN"OS age, yet proving my point even more, this came later in Latin tho after they made contact with the Greeks.
It's where it evolved from, proof:

/anus/ 'old woman' - /a:nus/ 'ring, anus' - /annus/ 'year'
/N/ written g, called agma. Minimal pair: agnus /aNnus/ - annus /annus/
anus/ 'old woman' - /a:nus/ 'ring, anus' - /annus/ 'year'
Minimal pair
In phonetics, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, which differ in only one phoneme and have a distinct meaning. They are used to demonstrate that two phones constitute two separate phonemes in the language.
English "let" + "lit" proves that phones [ e ] and [ i ] do in fact represent distinct phonemes /e/ and /i/. The phones do not have to be vowels, as the English minimal pair of "pat" + "bat" shows. In fact, this pair only differs in vocalization of the initial consonant as the configuration of the mouth is same for [ p ] and [ b ].
Examples
Following pairs prove existence of various distinct phonemes in English.
dime + time /d/ and /t/
rot + lot /r/ and /l/
zeal + seal /z/ and /s/
rhyme + time /r/ and /t/
meal + meet /l/ and /t/
feet + seat /f/ and /s/
Uh, no. Look up Proto Indo European word 'atnos' and get back to us.
(Most of the other intervening posts are absurdly redundant so I chose to address this: (where you once again read something and did not understand it, what a surprise)

You did it AGAIN. This was a pronuciation key, not an etymology list. YOU NEED TO READ THINGS BEFORE YOU POST THEM.
Honestly. I can not continue to double- and triple-check your sources because of your inability to read and comprehend what you locate and use to try and substantiate your floundering arguement. Participants in this thread should not have to spend valuable time verifying your habitually incorrect links. You continually ingore points that obviosuly contradict your position-i.e. the Etrsucan word for time is 'xur'-and then post or repost-i.e. the 'time locative' arguement-sources that do not support the position you are trying to make. You are sloppy in your research and supremely arrogant in your tact considering your lack of knowledge on the subject(s).
You have run around in circles from the outset, 'an' now equals everything BUT 'time' in Latin. While you continue to ignore the real word (tempus) that Latin speakers used to denote time. I find you to be tedious as you convienently ignore accurate and historical interpretations of Latin (and other languages) and stick to a failed dogma to religiously persue a constantly disproved stance. It should be fairly obvious to you by now that NO ONE has agreed with your point of view for the sole, and rather convincing, reason, you have made a terrible arguement supporting your misguided belief.

Yes atnos came after the notion of the ring in Latin I explained that it came after the formation of the year, it was first the notion of the ring and not atnos, that formed later. If you state it was not please provide material like I did.
The word Anus in Latin is pronounced and written Anus, Agnus is a lamb in Latin, a different word.
What you posted there is another example in speaking, pronouncing the word...
...in another way from a diferent dialect. It's what phonemes are, it may have a longer pronunciation in some instances some places but that is it. You made examples out of phonemes to confuse things. Anus is written and pronounced the same way.
To clarify this.

This is yet another cheap invention you want to grab on to fight a lost cause.
Here you go.

Come with a dictionary without dialects and pronunciation variations where anus is pronounced like you said.
I'm afraid you wont find such thing.

Also English has a variety of pronouncing something and spelling it in another way unlike other based Latin languages where how it's spelled it's pronounced.
No this is only you imagination as I told you the word is written and pronounce in the same manner.
I am not arrogant, you are because you want to win badly, above all other things,"pronunciations" and other things that you made up
...above all that lot's of lot's of sources state clear " it was a ring" as in "a ring" it's simple what the definition of a ring is. These include Latin literature sources, dictionaries, Latin writers and other sources that say it was a definition of a ring, the rest is you trying to twist it. Before an year existed in Rome it was a Ring, remember that.
Who is ignorant ?
It's clear what the root word for ring is in Proto IE no matter how you spin it, in the end it's the same result, it is ANO.
You may hold to your opinion , and I'll hold to mine.
It is obvius with movies such as "the lord of the rings" and star trek movies involving a time line, where the notion
comes from. After all holywood has it's fingers deep into the pie of the occult.
My opinion lies clear about masonry, and what kind of individuals masons are, I'm not talking about the small little mason.
Don't forget to be a good little artificial robot, because it's what you are.
You trying to cover this up will only make it worst[sic].

What you need to understand is that it was the notion of a ring, not a year, what you talk about came later to Rome with the Greeks bringing it, Rome did not have the notion of a year, but a cycle of 9 months that they thought in a form of a ring because the ring is like a cycle, AN-O .
This is known with the notion of ringing into new year.

It may very well be from the time when the ring was the cycle later to become an year.
