Ik zat een tijd geleden in de metro in Amsterdam en hoorde ineens ‘ewa sahbi,ara die garo’ (‘hé, vriend, geef me die sigaret’). Bijna helemaal in het Marokkaans-Arabisch. En ik draai me om en ik zie allemaal witte jongens.
I was on the Amsterdam underground some time ago and suddenly I heard “ewa sahbi, ara die garo” (“Hey, friend,give me that cigarette”). Almost entirely in Moroccan Arabic. And I turn around and all I see are white boys.

FromProto-Ugric*arɜ(“maternal relative”,“mother’s (younger) brother”),[1] probably a Proto-Iranian borrowing, compareAvestan𐬠𐬭𐬁𐬙𐬀𐬭(brātar),Ossetianӕрвадӕ(ærvadæ,“brother”). The ending-a in Hungarian may be a diminutive or a third-person singular possessive suffix. It gained its current meaning during theHungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries.[2]

“[...] Et quisquam nūmen Iūnōnis adōret praetereā, aut supplexārīs impōnet honōrem?”
“And would anyone adore the divinity of Juno afterward, or [as a] suppliant [worshiper] lay an offeringon [my]altars?” (Juno is asking herself a rhetorical question.)

Before feminine nouns beginning with stressed/ˈa/ likeara, the singular definite article takes the form ofel (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usualla:el ara. This includes the contracted formsal anddel (instead ofa la andde la, respectively):al ara,del ara.
This also applies to the indefinite article, which takes the form ofun, which is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine formuna also occurs):un ara oruna ara. The same is true with determinersalgún/alguna andningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g.,veintiún/veintiuna).
However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la,una etc.) are used:la mejor ara,una buena ara.
In these cases,el andun are not masculine but feminine, deriving from Latinilla anduna, respectively, even though they are identical in form to the corresponding masculine singular articles. Thus, they areallomorphs of the feminine singular articlesla anduna.
The use of these allomorphs does not change the gender agreement of the adjectives modifying the feminine noun:el ara única,un(a) ara buena.
In the plural, the usual feminine plural articles and determiners (las,unas, etc.) are always used.
