Any word with "A"

I was in a train station trying to find the right platform for my train. It was getting near the time of departure so I was in a blind panic trying to find it. By the time I got to the right one the train was pulling out and was halfway out of the station so I just ran down the platform with my suitcase bumping along shouting acheter, acheter! I think I used it because I knew the word I needed began with "A" - either attendre, to wait, or ²¹°ù°ùê³Ù±ð°ù, to stop or maybe I was confusing it with German Achtung, attention, which you hear in German train stations all the time. So I plumped for the only French word I could think of at the time beginning with "A". Everyone leant out the windows and stared at me, astonished. Miraculously the train did actually stop and a grinning train guard helped me on - they probably wanted to meet the person who wanted to "buy" the train.
