There is an old English use of "an" for "if". Where does this come
from? I can't think of similar forms in German or Danish or Latin.
It could be English "when". Or it could be the Swedish "om". But perhaps
it is something else.
The "om" (also in Danish) comes close and might be
the relative of "an". M and n get confused a bit.
I remember the name Willian used in Brazil.
