The definite article die is formally very similar to the demonstrative dié ('this/these'), but they are regarded as different here, so value 2, not value 3 is chosen. [Note the acute accent on in the demonstrative, which signals the fact that the demonstrative is distinguished from the determiner on the basis of stress, which is obligatory for the demonstrative.] Hierdie ('this/these') and daardie ('that/those') - which do no cooccur with the definite article either - clearly differ from die and yet are both constructed around the definite article: die.
