::I'd disagree - if the article is unwritten, then the adjective is strong. If it is written, then the adjective is weak. As an analogy, in German, they write "Vereinigte Staaten" which is weak. If you say 'the', you write "die Vereinigt'''en''' Staaten". It might be best to simply say "Geānlǣht Rīcu" and leave it at that, as that's the most common convention across the various wikis. --[[User:James|James]] 18:36, 5 Sēremōnaþ 2009 (UTC)
:The weak form is not as mechanistic as that. In this case there ''is'' a definite article: the page is on "'''Þā Geānlǣhtan Rīcu American'''"; it is just that by convention one omits the "Þā" in giving the page a title. '''Þā''' appears throughout the text.
:The weak form mostly occurs after a definite article or equivalent word or phrase, so after '''þæt''', '''þis''', '''min''', '''Ælfredes''' etc. The weak form is also used (without an article) in ordinal numbers and in some vocative expressions:
:"''Eala ðu leofa cyning!''" , "''Þu yfla þeow and slawa!''"
:- where the sense of definiteness is meant without using a definite article.
:In the name of this page we have a definite article but it is unwritten. The one place one finds that in the texts is poetry. For example:
:"''swoncre seonbende on '''syllan''' monn''.
