You seem rather annoyed at the request, but it would help tremendously
if we knew the context of *where* this is found, e.g. in a modern
dictionary, in a 15th century inscription on a cathedral wall, in an
ancient Latin text, etc.
For instance, if "n." was before a word in a dictionary, we would know
it means "noun", whereas "n." before a word on a tombstone would
indicate an abbreviation of a first name. Any sort of context would
help.
