Examples
“The participle holekh has the article because the noun which it modifies is a proper noun and so is definite (K.S. 333 z).”
“The next 'adham in v. 1 seems to hover on the border-line between the proper noun and the generic word "man.”
“Yet this is not so difficult if it be noted that the generic noun 'el, as it passes over into use as a proper noun, retains the article, so that the whole combination ha'el becomes the proper noun”
