Word " ⴰⵛⴻⵏⵢⴰⵍ "

Word:
ⴰⵛⴻⵏⵢⴰⵍ
Transliteration:
ašenyal
Script:
Tifinagh (Berber)
Variant:
unknown (help needed!) variation of "ⴰⵛⵏⵢⴰⵍ"

Based on the word usage in the Standard Moroccan Berber test Wikipedia (hosted provisionally at the Wikimedia Incubator), we know about this word. It has a few articles written in Latin letters while most in Neo-Tifinagh, in its official orthography. The word in question is different from Kabylian and identical to Central Atlas Tamazight, based in the same Latin etym as English "ensign" or Catalan "senyera".

no schwawith schwa
Latin acnyal acenyal
Tifinagh ⴰⵛⵏⵢⴰⵍ ⴰⵛⴻⵏⵢⴰⵍ

Most pages of the test Standard Moroccan Berber Wikipedia use the spelling "ⴰⵛⵏⵢⴰⵍ", in Tifinagh, while one page uses its Berber Latin alphabet equivalent "acnyal"; however two other pages use instead "acenyal", which is "ⴰⵛⴻⵏⵢⴰⵍ" in Tifinagh. I’d ascribe it to be a simple, meaningless typo, but "e"/"ⴻ" in Berber languages is often an “optional” schwa, not a full-fledged vowel, and all four variants of the word (with and without "e"/"ⴻ", in Latin and Tifinagh letters) yield meaningful results in a web images search (see table).
