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.

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.
