AFAIK, there's only a couple of rules for it in the ERD2W rule file...
10 : (propertyKey like 'a*' or propertyKey like 'e*' or propertyKey like 'u*'
or propertyKey like 'i*' or propertyKey like 'o*' or propertyKey like 'u*') =>
indefiniteArticleForProperty = "an" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
So in English, you would want to say "an article" or "a hero". You wouldn't
want to say "an hero" :-)
Funny enough though, the correct value depends on the sound, not the letter of
the word following it. For example, you could use "an SQL query" or "a SQL
query" depending on whether you use "es que elle" or "sequel" when you speak it.
So the rule is a rough approximation which is mostly correct, but may require
some tweaking depending on your property keys. Ain't english fun? ;-)
I guess for portuguese, since everything is male or female, you'd need a very
different rule.

Create a branch on your public fork of wonder on github with your changes. Make
a pull request from that branch to the main wonder repo.
