Although the H. Creole article “an” is used for
words that end with a nasal vowel such “pen
an, kan an, pon an”; it’s also used for
words that end with a non-nasal vowel which is preceded by a nasal sound:
Examples:
You'll say "zanmi an"
instead "zanmi a", because of the nasal sound "zan..."
in zanmi
You'll say "fanmi an" instead of "fanmi a" because of the nasal sound "fan..." in fanmi.
We say:
jou a or jou an
avangou a or avangou an
bouk la or bouk lan
soukous la or soukous lan
lanmou an because of the nasal sound "lan..." in lanmou
You'll say "fanmi an" instead of "fanmi a" because of the nasal sound "fan..." in fanmi.
We say:
jou a or jou an
avangou a or avangou an
bouk la or bouk lan
soukous la or soukous lan
lanmou an because of the nasal sound "lan..." in lanmou
Thus “lennmi an”
