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