Note that regardless of the definite state of the noun being described, the definite articles are only used when
immediately following a definite-form noun. If two adjectives (or other words that use these articles) come back to back, the second word's article will be indefinite.
Notice that while both adjectives require the adjectival article and the same masculine plural agreement, only the first adjectival article takes its definite form, as the second is not in the immediate environment of the modified definite noun.
Etymology 2
Proclitic form of the accusative-dative second person singular personal pronoun.
