Etymology
From Proto-Brythonic *tan, from Proto-Celtic *tanai, dative of *tan?, from Proto-Indo-European *tn?néh?.
Preposition
tan (triggers soft mutation on a following noun)
- until
- (literary) under
- while
Usage notes
In literary Welsh, tan can mean both "under" and "until". In Welsh usage today, however, dan (originally the soft mutation of tan) has become a preposition in its own right with the meaning "under" whereas tan means "until", retaining the meaning "under" in certain expressions, compound words and place names. Modern dan or tan are not usually mutated. o dan is an alternative to dan.
