arca de la Alianza

Spanish

Proper noun

arca de la Alianza f

  1. Ark of the Covenant

Usage notes
  • The feminine noun arca de la Alianza is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed /a/ sound in that it takes the articles el and un (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:
el arca de la Alianza
un arca de la Alianza
  • However, if an adjective, even one that begins with stressed /a/ such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la or una.
