[[anatman|Anatman]] ---------------------------> (आत्म‍|/Ātmā), * IPA: /ˈɑn ˈɑːtman/

It is Sanskrit and Anglicized Sanskrit.Geof Bard 19:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could you clarify please?

I believe that both atman and anatman, or versions of them, existed in Sanskrit and probably Pali, although the Buddha was famously silent on the issue. Thus, there is a Sanskrit prefix "an" which negates...perhaps that is where we obtained the English prefix "a-" or "an-". We being speakers of an "Indo-Aryan" tongue...But you still haven't commented on http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Requests_for_verification#sunyata where the biased secularists are flaming alreadyGeof Bard 19:51, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Good. If you know what the Sanskrit word anatman with the prefix is, then it would be good to add that to the etymology. If not, it's probably good enough as is.
