| From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: |
An \An\ ([acr]n). [AS. [be]n one, the same word as the numeral.
See {One}, and cf. {A}.]
This word is properly an adjective, but is commonly called
the indefinite article. It is used before nouns of the
singular number only, and signifies one, or any, but somewhat
less emphatically. In such expressions as [bd]twice an
hour,[b8] [bd]once an age,[b8] a shilling an ounce (see 2d
{A}, 2), it has a distributive force, and is equivalent to
each, every.
Note: An is used before a word beginning with a vowel sound;
as, an enemy, an hour. It in also often used before h
sounded, when the accent of the word falls on the
second syllable; as, an historian, an hyena, an heroic
deed. Many writers use a before h in such positions.
Anciently an was used before consonants as well as
vowels.
