0 The words 01b 00a02b 00, 01b 00an02b 00 and 01b 00the02b 00 are used similarly to adjectives in that they modify nouns. Articles are generally categorized as 01i 00determiners02i 00, so I've never really considered articles to be adjectives. According to Wikipedia, articles 01u 00used to02u 00 be considered adjectives though.
