It's nanoen, meaning after noon.

Dear Fritz,

It is an interesting combination, but it's fairly common. I wonder if any of our good friends on this forum who live in the Netherlands or Belgium can tell us anything about its usage today?
Adrie? Anyone?

The term in this sense is in fact, burgemeester-beambte, literrally mayor/beambte
beambte = representative of the "ambt" , so he is an ambtenaar elected to serve the civil counsil.
We also have "ambtenaars" for taxes, notary deeds , etc,the meanig of the word becomes a variable with the context.
Sometimes it is still used today.

@ Fritz and Carla.
Nanoens or nanoen , indeed means after the noon. We still use it in different
variants, but is is to be avoided in classical Dutch/Flemish or ABN, but streetwise
in het verkavelingsvlaams(allotmentFlemish) one can still use it; the spelling sometimes is different.
Na de noene (noen), (West flemish)... Achter de noene(noen) East_ Flemish
The Dutch never use it, so 2 miles from here,its unknown.

The word is nanoens (after the noon). I had never hear it before but it is in the Dikke Van Dale as: Uncommon = afternoon.
