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 letterswhile 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 schwa | with schwa | |
|---|---|---|
| Latin | acnyal | acenyal |
| Tifinagh | ⴰⵛⵏⵢⴰⵍ | ⴰⵛⴻⵏⵢⴰⵍ |
Most pages of the test Standard Moroccan Berber Wikipedia use the spelling "ⴰⵛⵏⵢⴰⵍ", in Tifinagh, while one pageuses its Berber Latin alphabet equivalent "acnyal"; however two otherpages use instead "acenyal", which is "ⴰⵛⴻⵏⵢⴰⵍ" in Tifinagh. I’d ascribe it to be a simple, meaningless typo, but "e"/"ⴻ" in Berber languagesis 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).
