- Before feminine nouns beginning with stressed/ˈa/ likeasta, the singular definite article takes the form ofel (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usualla:el asta. This includes the contracted formsal anddel (instead ofa la andde la, respectively):al asta,del asta.
- 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 asta oruna asta. 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 asta,una buena asta.
- 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 asta única,un(a) asta buena.
- In the plural, the usual feminine plural articles and determiners (las,unas, etc.) are always used.
