el alba

• However, if an adjective, even one that begins with a stressed a sound such as alta or ancha, intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la.

Spanish

Etymology

From Latin albus (“white”). Aside from some very early Old Spanish texts, it is only used as a Latinism, or in a poetic or literary sense (as with most other western Romance languages). Even in Old Spanish, this form was semi-learned or maintained a conservative pronunciation; the form obo was the popularly inherited one, completely transmitted in an oral fashion from Latin, but only remained as an element in some toponyms/placenames. However, some terms derived from or related to albo have survived in Spanish. Doublet of álbum.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /?albo/, [?al.??o]

Adjective

albo (feminine alba, masculine plural albos, feminine plural albas)

1. (poetic) white

   Synonym: blanco
