Usage notes
[edit ]- Often confused with homophonous and far commoner -anz . However, the distinction is clear based on the word's gender and plural. Those in -anz are feminine and make -anzen in the plural, while those in -ans are neuter and make -anzien (also spelt -antien) or (highly learned) -antia.
