Митридату.
Нарушение флексии это само собой. Но возможно еще необходимость в артиклях возникает при создании литературных языков, так сказать для обнозначности восприятия текста.
Вот например из среднеанглийского об неопределенном артикле:
N
in nickname, newt, and Brit. dial. naunt, the -n- belongs to a preceding indefinite article an or possessive pronoun mine. Other examples of this from M.E.
manuscripts include a neilond ("an island," c.1220), a narawe ("an arrow," c.1400), a noke ("an oak," c.1420), a nappyle ("an apple," c.1420). The process
also worked in surnames, from oblique cases of O.E. at "by, near," e.g. Nock/Nokes/Noaks from atten Oke "by the oak;" Nye from atten ye "near the
lowland." The loss of it to a preceding a is more common: apron, auger, adder, umpire, humble pie, etc. The mathematical use of n for "an indefinite number" is
first recorded 1852, in to the nth power.
