Interesting, but Anderva appears to be Sanderua in the Tabula Peutingeriana.
Moreover, the frequency of and- over simply an- is suspicious. It could be a prefix *and- < *n&-dhi- 'in' rather than simply *an.

Objet : [tied] Illyrian prefix an-
Andetrion, Dalmatia (Strabo).
Anausaro, road station (TP Miller IR col. 571-573. Rav. IV 15).
Andarva/Anderba, road station Miller IR col. 462-471. IA Cuntz 338, 7.
Rav. IV 16).
Andizetes, Panonian tribe (Strab. VII 314. Ptol. II 15,2)
Andautonion (Ptol. II, 14,4), city in Panonia.
Bulentum/Bolentum, if identical with Bulet close to Dubrovnik and if
from Alb appellative bulim `spring' (Jokl, Skok), I think that
testifies for its high frequency in many place names with it prefixed
form: Ombula/Jambula, Ubla/Obla, Bul-ofçe/Bolec in Dardania etc. Forms
Ombula/Jambula are from prefixed form *H1en + bul- with characteristic
assimilation -nb- > -mb-, later reduced on -b-/-m-.
From last example we could suppose that place names Andetrion,
Anausaro, Andizetes, Andarva, Andautonion are indeed prefixed forms of
-detrion, -ausaro, -dizetes, -darva, because H1en is treated in PAlb.
as -ân in Gheg dialect and -ën in Tosk one.
So except aus- and ar- as a first element on many Illyrian place
names, exists also as prefix an- attested in many other place names.
Any comment?
