Asturian and English/Lexical selection

Eng --> Ast

"The" translates to "lo", "la", "los", or "las" depending on the gender and number of the noun it is used with. Since Asturian places the subject of a determiner immediately after the determiner in most cases, we can define a rule where a determiner is formulated as "l" + $ending where $ending is the last letter or two letters of the following word, if they are in the set {o, a, os, as}.
