No, the word 'an' is an article, a word used with a noun to limit it or make it clearer, a type of determiner.

The articles are a, an, and the. Examples:

A dog is howling.

The article 'a', used before a consonant sound, tells us that the dog is not a specific dog.

An animal is howling.

The article 'an' used before a vowel sound, tells us that the animal is not a specific animal.

The dog is howling.

The article 'the' tells us that it is a specific dog known to the speaker and the listener.
