You don't give any rationale for your choice. In the matter of  
unstressed syllables, there is -en and -an here, and you've given no  
reason to choose one over another. And you're proposing a change.

I can think of a reason for the change -- the vowel in the syllable  
under stress:

tenewan, tenwennow.
