    Ordinal numbers describe the numerical position of an object, like first, second, third. To form ordinals, add "th" to most cardinals, except one, two, three, five, eight, nine, and twelve, which have unique ordinal forms. In compound ordinals, only the last number is written as an ordinal, and ordinals as figures add the last two letters of the word. Royal names use Roman numerals for ordinals.
