Adjective Ordinal Number
========================
Summary
-------
In Biblical Aramaic, ordinal numbers are used to express a rank or order
of items in a series (first, second, third, etc.) or to express a part
of a whole (a third, a fourth, a fifth, etc.).

Article
-------
Biblical Aramaic contains two sets of numbers: :ref:`cardinal numbers<adjective_cardinal_number>`
and ordinal numbers. Ordinal numbers describe either a numeric
rank/order or a portion of a whole. "First" through "tenth" have unique
ordinal forms, but the cardinal forms are used from "eleventh" and
higher. Ordinal numbers function as :ref:`attributive adjectives<adjective-attributive>`,
but they may not always have the same grammatical form (gender, number,
:ref:`definiteness<definiteness>`) as the noun they describe.
.. note:: Sometimes a cardinal form is used, but an ordinal meaning is
clearly indicated from the context (see examples below).
