It seems that Swedish might be close to the behavior that I describe.
ein -> en
Stein -> sten
rein -> ren
einsam -> ensam
From the statistics (frequency) perspective, it does not really matter which it is (article or numeral) as long as it's represented by the same n-gram. In fact, indefinite articles descend to the numeral "one" anyway.
I will explain this later in the evening when I have more time. The trail has been a bit irregular, so far it's nothing more than just quick-checking some guesses.
