Funny how I've never thought about that -- that is, the fact that
"die" and "den" look exactly like the appropriate form of the definite
article.

Yet for me as a native speaker, they feel like completely different
words -- I interpret them as relative pronouns, not as definite
articles, even though they look and sound completely the same.

Fascinating stuff, this language business.

So, very plausible for TAKE.
