Ordinal number – Generalization of "n-th" to infinite cases (the related, but more formal and abstract, usage in mathematics) Ordinal data, in statistics; Ordinal date – Date written as number of days since first day of year; Regnal ordinal – Ordinal numbers used to distinguish among persons with the same name who held the same office
Exception to this rule are the ordinal numerals first, second and third. If the basic word ends on the letter t and we add the suffixes for ordinal numerals, then a double t is generally produced. For the ordinal numerals seventh and eighth, we reduce some of the letters of the basic number, for example: osum > osmi (eighth), sedum > sedmi ...
In set theory, an ordinal number, or ordinal, is a generalization of ordinal numerals (first, second, n th, etc.) aimed to extend enumeration to infinite sets. [ 1 ] A finite set can be enumerated by successively labeling each element with the least natural number that has not been previously used.
"A base is a natural number B whose powers (B multiplied by itself some number of times) are specially designated within a numerical system." [1]: 38 The term is not equivalent to radix, as it applies to all numerical notation systems (not just positional ones with a radix) and most systems of spoken numbers. [1]
The ordinal numbers are difficult to reconstruct due to their significant variation in the daughter languages. The following reconstructions are tentative: [ 20 ] "first" is formed with * pr̥h₃- (related to some adverbs meaning "forth, forward, front" and to the particle * prō "forth", thus originally meaning "foremost" or similar) plus ...
The invariant numeral quattuor ‘four’ does not fully correspond to any of its cognates in other languages, as Oscan petora ‘four’, Greek τέσσαρες téssares ‘four’, Old Irish cethair ‘four’, Gothic fidwôr ‘four’, Lithuanian keturì ‘four’, Old Church Slavonic četyre ‘four’ point to a Proto-Indo-European base ...

[1] Its dialing code was initially expected to become effective on 1 January 2015, but it was postponed to the finalization of the agreement in late August 2015. [2]
The names for numerals in Slovene are formed in a similar way to that found in other Slavic languages.An exception is the formation of numerals from 21 to 99, in which the unit is placed in front of the decade ("four-and-twenty"), [1] as in German and Dutch.
