Usage notes

[edit]
  • Feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like this one regularly take the singular articles el and un, usually reserved for masculine nouns.
    el arca de la alianza, un arca de la alianza
  • They maintain the usual feminine singular articles la and una if an adjective intervenes between the article and the noun.
