⚠️G. an¹, n. “person, -body, one, anyone, someone, they; creature” (Category: Human Being): S. pen² “one, somebody, anybody; ⚠️[N.] Elf”

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s for “person”, also used pronominally as “one, anyone, someone, they” and as a suffix meaning “-body” (GL/19). It is probably derived from the same (undefined) root that is the basis for ᴱQ. anu “a male” and ᴱQ. anai “woman” (QL/31).
