However, there are a lot of exercises that count it wrong if you leave out the indefinite article. Should I start reporting all of those?

I am familiar with the difference between "one" and "a". I am pretty competent in Latin and Ancient Greek, so it feels unnatural always using an indefinite article. "A lot" means that in most review sessions I hit at least one. They may be the same one, even. The next time it happens I'll report… It's probably just a few that were overlooked and it feels like more to me subjectively.
Nothing obvious. Wiktionary says etymology is uncertain: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%80%CE%AF%CE%B8%CE%B7%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%82#Etymology
