an, Coni. (vgl. griech. ἄν), auch mit ne verstärkt in anne, leitet das »zweite« Glied eines disjunktiven Satzes ein, in dem einer sein eigenes unentschiedenes Urteil »zweifelnd« oder »fragend« so ausspricht, daß er von einem andern die Entscheidung erwartet od. erbittet, wie unser oder, oder ob, I) in disjunktiven Zweifelsätzen, nach allen Verben, die Zweifel, Ungewißheit u. dgl. ausdrücken, wie dubito, dubium od. incertum est, nescio etc., refert, interest, auch video, scio, doceo, disco usw., u. zwar: 1) bei vollständiger Disjunktion: a) einem mit utrum, utrumne, auch ne, od. absol. vorangestellten Gliede als Gegensatz folgend, desinite dubitare, utrum... an, Cic.: utrum... an..., incertus sum, Ter.: incertum est, ne (enklit.)... an... anne, Verg.: ut nescias, utrum... an..., Cic.: quid refert, utrum... an..., Varr. – honestumne factu sit an turpe, dubitant, Cic.: refert etiam qui audiant, senatus an populus an iudices, Cic. – dah. b) in zusammengezogener Rede, ohne ein Verbum des Zweifels u. dgl., gleichs. fragend, oder vielleicht, oder etwa auch, ohne Partikel beim ersten Glied u. auch ohne Einfluß auf das Verbum (s. Piderit Cic. Brut. 89. Heräus Tac. hist. 1, 7, 9), Cn. Octavius est, an Cn. Cornelius quidam, Cic.: non plus duobus an tribus mensibus, Cic.: u. so ter an quater, Apul. apol. 43: septem an octo, Plin. ep. 6, 13, 5. – u. so c) wie sive, mit diesem sogar wechselnd, wo man, seiner Sache nicht gewiß, auch nicht zu entscheiden wagt, wenigstens es für gleichgültig hält, oder, quod sit, an non, nihil analogiam commovet, Varr. LL.: sive fatali vecordiā, an... ratus, Tac.: iure an iniuriā, Liv. 2, 54, 7.
Häufig 2) elliptisch, so daß durch den auf das zweite Glied gelegten Nachdruck das erste, leicht zu ergänzende gleichsam übersehen u. ausgelassen ist, ob nicht; so zunächst a) in der Redensart dubito an (durch alle Personen u. Tempora), u. die Formel haud scio an od. nescio an, als höflicher, bescheidener Ausdruck der subjektiven Überzeugung, wie unser: ich bezweifle, ich weiß nicht recht, ob nicht, d.i. ich glaube fast, ich vermute, daß usw., od. mit noch größerer Zurückhaltung dubitem od. dubitaverim an, haud sciam an, ich möchte bezweifeln, wüßte nicht, ob nicht, d.i. ich möchte fast glauben, annehmen, vermuten, daß usw. (vgl. Klotz Cic. Tusc. 3, 55 u. 4, 50); dah. oft = vielleicht, vermutlich, wahrscheinlich, doch wohl, meines Erachtens u. dgl., dubito an hunc primum omnium ponam, Nep. – tamenne dubitemus, an ei nos etiam cum periculo venditemus, Cic. – haud scio an satis sit, eum, qui lacessiverit, iniuriae suae paenitēre, Cic.: vir sapientissimus atque haud scio an omnium praestantissimus, Cic.: id quod haud sciam an tu primus ostenderis, Cic.: haud scio anne uxorem ducat, Ter.: haud sciam anne super omnes homines impenso labore eam quaesissem, Apul.: extremum illud est, quod nescio an tu primum putes, Cic.: nescio an modum excesserint, Liv. – / Von selbst ergibt sich, daß die Verneinung des von dubito an u. haud scio an od. nescio an abhängigen Satzes durch non u. (nach den beiden letztern) durch ne... quidem, nullus, nemo, nihil, numquam, minus etc. ausgedrückt werden muß, dubitet an turpe non sit, Cic.: quod haud scio an non possis, Cic.: haud scio an ne opus quidem sit, Cic.: meā sententiā haud scio an nulla beatior esse possit, Cic.: haud scio an minus hoc vobis probaturus sim, Cic. – ebenso b) übh. bei Verben des Zweifelns, Nichtwissens u. dgl., moriendum enim certe est, et id incertum, an eo ipso die, ob nicht an usw., Cic.: dubium an quaesitā, morte, zweifelhaft, ob nicht, d.i. vielleicht freiwilligen Todes, Tac.
3) ohne Rücksicht auf den disjunktiven Sinn auch (aber nie bei Cicero, sehr häufig in nachaug. Prosa) übh. zweifelnd, wie num, ob, u. mit Hinneigung zur Verneinung, dubito an idem tibi quod tunc mihi suadeam, Plin. ep.: quis scit an adiciant hodiernae crastina summae tempora di superi? Hor.: u. wiederholt, ob... ob, hunc tu ignorantem an sedeat putas scire, an vivat, an videat, an otiosus sit, Sen. – bes. nescio an im Munde des Zweifelnden mehr das Unwahrscheinliche andeutend, ich weiß nicht, ob, d.h. ich glaube nicht wohl, daß usw.; vielleicht nicht, schwerlich, nescio an tibi gratius opportuniusque acciderit, Caecin. in Cic. ep.: an profecturus sim, nescio, Sen.
II) in disjunktiven Fragesätzen: 1) bei vollständiger Doppelfrage, zunächst a) bei wirklicher Unentschiedenheit des Fragenden für das eine od. das andere, einem mit utrum, utrumne, ne od. absol. vorangestellten Satze folgend, α) in direkter Frage, oder, utrum ea vestra an nostra culpa est? Cic.: utrum praedicemne an taceam? Ter.: Romamne veniam, an hic maneam, an Arpinum fugiam? Cic.: domum paternamne anne ad Peliae filias? Enn. fr.: dicam huic, an non dicam? Ter.: roger, anne rogem? Ov. – β) in indirekter Frage, oder ob, oder, id utrum Romano more locutus sit, an quo modo Stoici dicunt, postea videro, Cic.: quid mihi quaeram, sanus sim anne insaniam! Ter.: quaerendum, utrum una species et longitudo sit earum, anne plures, Cic. (u. so öfter bei Cicero mit anne, s. Matthiä Cic. de imp. Pomp. 57). – b) bei vorgefaßter Entscheidung für das eine od. das andere, u. zwar: α) für Bejahung des ersten mit non od. ne vorangestellten Gliedes, non manum abstines, an tibi iam mavis cerebrum dispergam hic? Ter.: quid hoc intellextin, an nondum etiam ne hoc quidem? Ter.: me certiorem facias, P. Crassus vivone patre suo mortuus sit, ut ego meminisse videor, an post? ob nicht... oder, Cic. – β) für Bejahung des zweiten Gliedes, wo dann die mindere Wahrscheinlichkeit des ersten durch num, auch ne angedeutet wird, num Homerum, num Hesiodum etc.... coëgit in suis studiis obmutescere senectus? an in omnibus his studiorum agitatio vitae aequalis fuit? Cic.: unum illud nescio, gratulerne tibi, an timeam? Cic. – c) an non od. annon, oder nicht, wie mit Wiederholung, so auch mit Auslassung des Verbums vom ersten Glied, wo wahre Disjunktion oder gar Hinneigung zur Bejahung des zweiten Gliedes stattfindet, in direkter Frage, parebis legibus, annon? Varr. fr.: pater eius rediit, annon? Ter.: num tabulas habet, annon? Cic. – u. in indirekter, utrum sit an non voltis? Plaut.: utrum saluber locus esset, annon? Varr. 2) elliptisch, so daß bloß die Gegenfrage mit an ausgesprochen, das erste, sich leicht aus dem Zusammenhange ergänzende Glied aber ausgelassen wird (nie bei einfacher direkter Frage), u. zwar: a) wenn man im Sinne des andern, also mit einer Art Ironie od. mit Staunen fragt u. deshalb Verneinung erwartet, oder, oder vielmehr, oder wohl gar, oder etwa? (wo man im eigenen Sinne mit num od. ne fragen würde), an id ioco dixisti? oder hast du etwa im Scherz gesprochen? Plaut.: an abiit iam a milite? Ter.: an etiam id dubium est? Cic.: an putas? Cic.: anne est intus Pamphilus? Ter.: anne oportuit? Plaut. – dah. an non ( nicht annon) mit bejahender Kraft (wie wenn man im eigenen Sinne mit nonne fragen würde), quo fretus sim? an non dixi esse hoc futurum? oder habe ich nicht gesagt? Ter.: an haec ab eo non dicuntur? Cic. – bes. b) wenn man das Gegenteil wünscht oder voraussetzt u. sich wundern würde, wenn es bejaht werden sollte, doch nicht gar? denn?

Varr. fr. – c) wenn man zur Widerlegung fremder oder Begründung eigener Ansicht einen anerkannt wahren allgemeinen Satz fragend hinstellt, od. auch einen bestrittenen Fall durch einen ähnlichen unbestreitbaren ( argumentum a minore ad maius) erweisen will (nicht selten verstärkt durch vero, s. Wunder Cic. Planc. 17, 41), oder aber, oder (vgl. die Auslgg. zu Cic. Cat. 1, 1, 3), quae tandem id ars non habet? earum dico artium, quae coniecturā continentur et sunt opinabiles. An medicina ars non putanda est? Cic.: an Scythes Anacharsis potuit pro nihilo pecuniam ducere? nostrates philosophi facere non potuerunt? Cic.: quid enim refert utrum propter oves an propter aves fructus capias? Anne dulcior est fructus ex bubulo pecore... quam ex apibus? Varr. – d) übh. wenn man die entgegengesetzte Meinung abweisen od. die eigene als unbestreitbar darstellen will, wo wir gern die Frage mit aber... denn eröffnen, istoc es melior. An quid est olim homini salute melius? Plaut.: an potest quis dubitare, quin etc.? oder aber kann jemand zweifeln, daß usw.? Cic.: o pater, anne aliquas ad caelum hinc ire putandumst sublimis animas iterumque ad tarda reverti corpora? Verg. – e) oft nach einer andern Frage, der man etwas als seine Vermutung entgegenstellt, oder, oder etwa, quid dixisti pessuma? an mentita es? Ter.: sed quid Curio? an illam orationem non legit? Cic.: quomodo...? an... anne... an...? Cic. Balb. 54. – dah. auch f) im bejahenden Sinne, den man im eigenen Namen u. ohne Rücksicht auf fremde Meinung durch nonne andeuten würde, oder... nicht? denn nicht? nicht etwa? bes. im Ggstz. zu einer vorangegangenen Frage, an, qui perperam insanire me aiunt, ipsi insaniunt? Plaut.: quidnam beneficio provocati facere debemus? an imitari fertiles agros etc., Cic.
Endlich 3) nachaug. (um übh. bl. Ungewißheit auszudrücken) auch in einfacher indirekter Frage = num, ob, ut exspectaret, an ibi iam Pompeius esset, Liv. epit.: in obscuro est, an didiceris, Plin. ep.: tria sine dubio spectanda sunt: an sit, quid sit, quale sit, Quint.: consuluit, an etc., Curt.
