Re: thee -- one and only particular

One of the linked articles - this one (http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/%7Emyl/languagelog/archives/002312.html) - does mention that, not as an a priori rule but as an observable pattern. I think the main focus of the article I mentioned first is on preconsonantal "the", though.
