Initially, the correlatives for time ended with-an instead of-am:kian,tian,ian,ĉian,nenian instead of the modernkiam,tiam,iam,ĉiam,neniam. Zamenhof left a one-year period (from Esperanto's creation in 1887 to 1888) during which changes to Esperanto could be proposed. After that year, the only change that was made was changing the time correlatives from-an to-am due to the risk of confusion with correlatives ending with-a + the accusative ending-n. The forms with-an are no longer used, but they can be found in a few older texts from that one-year period. This is the only reform proposal that has ever been successfully implemented into Esperanto.^[1]
