det: determiner

Function label for determiners, including definite and indefinite articles governed by their noun, but also the postposed ⲛⲓⲙ ‘any’ and the determiner ⲕⲉ ‘other’, which is unique in being allowed to stand for an article.

Double determiners

If a noun has both a normal article and ⲕⲉ, both are marked as det:

Possessive determiners

Both pre-posed possessives and the old suffix pronouns are treated as determiners:

det(ⲏⲓ, ⲡⲉⲥ)
{
    "text": "ⲡⲉⲥ ⲏⲓ \n her house ",
    "entities": [
        [ "embedded-4-T1", "DET", [ [ 0, 3 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-4-T2", "NOUN", [ [ 4, 6 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-4-T4", "token", [ [ 9, 12 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-4-T5", "token", [ [ 13, 18 ] ] ]
    ],
    "relations": [
        [ "embedded-4-R2", "det", [ [ "arg1", "embedded-4-T2" ], [ "arg2", "embedded-4-T1" ] ] ]
    ],
    "attributes": [],
    "error": false,
    "sentlabels": [ "4" ]
}

Note that the suffix possessors are pure pronouns, and are therefore tagged as PRON (but the relation is still det):

The p-et relative construction

Articles expanded by a relative clause in the p-et construction are actually stand-ins for a full NP head, so they are not labeled using the function label det. Rather, they are given whatever function that NP has in the sentence, see for instance both ‘articles’ in this example:
