   See One, and cf. A.]
   This word is properly an adjective, but is commonly called
   the indefinite article. It is used before nouns of the
   singular number only, and signifies one, or any, but somewhat
   less emphatically. In such expressions as "twice an hour,"
   "once an age," a shilling an ounce (see 2d A, 2), it has a
   distributive force, and is equivalent to each, every.
   [1913 Webster]

   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.
         [1913 Webster]
