It's just a matter of my personal ignorance: I know that the year
tav-shin-nun is written with final nun, but I don't know whether
the year nun is traditionally written with initial or final nun.
If someone knows (I repeat: knows, not guesses), please educate
me. Otherwise I will try to find the answer myself, but this may
take time.
