The word одќн 'one' sometimes corresponds to the English indefinite article 'a.' Sometimes it has the meaning 'alone' and can even be used in a plural form. It is also a numeral. Whatever its meaning, одќн is declined like a special adjective and must agree with its noun in gender, number, and case.
