Historically these letters were "elevated terminals", that is to say the last few letters of the full word denoting the ordinal form of the number displayed as a <a href="/wiki/Superscript" class="mw-redirect" title="Superscript">superscript</a>. Probably originating with <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> scribes, the character(s) used vary in different languages. In <a href="/wiki/English_ordinal_numbers" class="mw-redirect" title="English ordinal numbers">English orthography</a>, this corresponds to the suffixes ‑st, ‑nd, ‑rd, ‑th in written ordinals (represented either on the line 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or as <a href="/wiki/Subscript_and_superscript" title="Subscript and superscript">superscript</a> 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th). Also commonly encountered in <a href="/wiki/Romance_languages" title="Romance languages">Romance languages</a> are the superscript or <a href="/wiki/Superior_letter" title="Superior letter">superior</a> (and often underlined) masculine ordinal indicator, º, and feminine ordinal indicator, ª. In formal typography, the ordinal indicators ª and º are distinguishable from other characters.<a href="#cite_note-mstyp-1">[1]</a> The practice of underlined (or doubly underlined) superscripted abbreviations was common in 19th-century writing (not limited to ordinal indicators in particular, and extant in the <a href="/wiki/Numero_sign" title="Numero sign">numero sign</a> №), and was found in handwritten English until at least the late 19th century (e.g. first abbreviated '1st' or 1st).<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Usage">Usage</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ordinal_indicator&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Usage">edit</a>]</div> In <a href="/wiki/Spanish_language" title="Spanish language">Spanish</a>, <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_language" title="Portuguese language">Portuguese</a>, <a href="/wiki/Italian_language" title="Italian language">Italian</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Galician_language" title="Galician language">Galician</a>, the ordinal indicators º and ª are appended to the numeral depending on whether the <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_gender" title="Grammatical gender">grammatical gender</a> is masculine or feminine. The indicator may be given an <a href="/wiki/Underline" class="mw-redirect" title="Underline">underline</a> but this is not ubiquitous. In <a href="/wiki/Digital_typography" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital typography">digital typography</a>, this depends on the font: <a href="/wiki/Cambria_(typeface)" title="Cambria (typeface)">Cambria</a> and <a href="/wiki/Calibri" title="Calibri">Calibri</a>, for example, have underlined ordinal indicators, while most other fonts do not. Examples of the usage of ordinal indicators in Italian are: <ul><li>1º, primo; 1ª, prima "first"</li> <li>2º, secondo; 2ª, seconda "second"</li> <li>3º, terzo; 3ª, terza "third"</li></ul> Galician also forms its ordinal numbers this way,<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> while <a href="/wiki/Asturian_language" title="Asturian language">Asturian</a> follows a similar system where ᵘ is used for the masculine gender, ª for the feminine gender and º for the neuter gender.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> In Spanish, using the two final letters of the word as it is spelled is not allowed,<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> except in the cases of primer (an <a href="/wiki/Apocope" title="Apocope">apocope</a> of primero) before singular masculine nouns, which is not abbreviated as 1.º but as 1.er, of tercer (an apocope of tercero) before singular masculine nouns, which is not abbreviated as 3.º but as 3.er, and of compound ordinal numbers ending in primer or tercer. For instance, "twenty-first" is vigésimo primer before a masculine noun, and its abbreviation is 21.er. Since none of these words are shortened before feminine nouns, their correct forms for those cases are primera and tercera. These can be represented as 1.ª and 3.ª.

This ablative <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/desinence" class="extiw" title="wikt:desinence">desinence</a> happened to be frequently combined with ordinal numerals indicating dates (as in tertio die [written iiio die] "on the third day" or in <a href="/wiki/Anno_Domini" title="Anno Domini">Anno Domini</a> years, as in anno millesimo [...] ab incarnatione domini nostri Iesu Christi [written an ͂ Mo [...] dm ͂i nri ih ͂u xp ͂i or similarly] "in the thousandth [...] year after the incarnation of our lord Jesus Christ").[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The usage of terminals in the <a href="/wiki/Vernacular" title="Vernacular">vernacular</a> languages of Europe derives from Latin usage, as practised by scribes in monasteries and <a href="/wiki/Chancery_(medieval_office)" title="Chancery (medieval office)">chanceries</a> before writing in the vernacular became established. The terminal letters used depend on the gender of the item to be ordered and the case in which the ordinal adjective is stated, for example primus dies ('the first day', nominative case, masculine), but primo die ('on the first day', ablative case masculine), shown as Io or io. As monumental inscriptions often refer to days on which events happened (e.g., "he died on the tenth of June"), the ablative case is generally used: Xo (decimo) with the month stated in the genitive case.

However, if the head noun is omitted, the ordinal indicator takes the form of a <a href="/wiki/Morphology_(linguistics)" title="Morphology (linguistics)">morphological</a> suffix, which is attached to the numeral with a <a href="/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)" title="Colon (punctuation)">colon</a>. In the <a href="/wiki/Nominative_case" title="Nominative case">nominative case</a>, the suffix is ‑nen for 1 and 2, and ‑s for larger numerals: Minä olin 2:nen, ja veljeni oli 3:s 'I came 2nd, and my brother came 3rd'. This is derived from the endings of the spelled-out ordinal numbers: ensimmäinen, toinen, kolmas, neljäs, viides, kuudes, seitsemäs, etc.. The system becomes rather complicated when the ordinal needs to be <a href="/wiki/Inflected" class="mw-redirect" title="Inflected">inflected</a>, as the ordinal suffix is adjusted according to the case ending: 3:s (nominative case, which has no ending), 3:nnen (<a href="/wiki/Genitive_case" title="Genitive case">genitive case</a> with ending ‑n), 3:tta (<a href="/wiki/Partitive_case" title="Partitive case">partitive case</a> with ending ‑ta), 3:nnessa (<a href="/wiki/Inessive_case" title="Inessive case">inessive case</a> with ending ‑ssa), 3:nteen (<a href="/wiki/Illative_case" title="Illative case">illative case</a> with ending ‑en), etc.. Even native speakers sometimes find it difficult to exactly identify the ordinal suffix, as its borders with the <a href="/wiki/Word_stem" title="Word stem">word stem</a> and the case ending may appear blurred. In such cases, it may be preferable to write the ordinal word entirely with <a href="/wiki/Letter_(alphabet)" title="Letter (alphabet)">letters</a> and particularly 2:nen is rare even in the nominative case, as it is not significantly shorter than the full word toinen. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Irish">Irish</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ordinal_indicator&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Irish">edit</a>]</div> Numerals from 3 up form their ordinals uniformly by adding the suffix -ú: 3ú, 4ú, 5ú, etc. When the ordinal is written out, the suffix adheres to the spelling restrictions imposed by the <a href="/wiki/Irish_phonology" title="Irish phonology">broad/slender</a> difference in consonants and is written -iú after slender consonants; but when written as numbers, only the suffix itself (-ú) is written. In the case of 4 (ceathair), the final syllable is <a href="/wiki/Syncope_(phonetics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Syncope (phonetics)">syncopated</a> before the suffix, and in the case of 9 (naoi), 20 (fiche), and 1000 (míle), the final vowel is assimilated into the suffix. Most multiples of ten end in a vowel in their cardinal form and form their ordinal form by adding the suffix to their genitive singular form, which ends in -d; this is not reflected in writing. Exceptions are 20 (fiche) and 40 (daichead), both of which form their ordinals by adding the suffix directly to the cardinal (fichiú and daicheadú). When counting objects, dó (2) becomes dhá and ceathair (4) becomes ceithre. As in French, the vigesimal system is widely used, particularly in people's ages. Ceithre scór agus cúigdéag – 95. The numbers 1 (aon) and 2 (dó) both have two separate ordinals: one regularly formed by adding -ú (aonú, dóú), and one <a href="/wiki/Suppletion" title="Suppletion">suppletive</a> form (céad, dara). The regular forms are restricted in their usage to actual numeric contexts, when counting. The latter are also used in counting, especially céad, but are used in broader, more abstract senses of "first" and "second" (or "other"). In their broader senses, céad and dara are not written as 1ú and 2ú, though 1ú and 2ú may in a numeric context be read aloud as céad and dara (e.g., an 21ú lá may be read as an t-aonú lá is fiche or as an chéad lá is fiche). <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:left; width:40%;"> <tbody><tr> <td> </td> <th scope="col">Cardinal </th> <th scope="col">Ordinal </th></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">1 </th> <td>a h-aon </td> <td>aonú (1ú) or céad </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">2 </th> <td>a dó </td> <td>dóú (2ú) or dara </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">3 </th> <td>a trí </td> <td>tríú (3ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">4 </th> <td>a ceathair </td> <td>ceathrú (4ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">5 </th> <td>a cúig </td> <td>cúigiú (5ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">6 </th> <td>a sé </td> <td>séú (6ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">7 </th> <td>a seacht </td> <td>seachtú (7ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">8 </th> <td>a hocht </td> <td>ochtú (8ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">9 </th> <td>a naoi </td> <td>naoú (9ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">10 </th> <td>a deich </td> <td>deichiú (10ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">20 </th> <td>fiche or scór </td> <td>fichiú (20ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">30 </th> <td>triocha </td> <td>triochadú (30ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">40 </th> <td>daichead, ceathracha or dhá scór </td> <td>daicheadú or ceathrachadú (40ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">50 </th> <td>caoga </td> <td>caogadú (50ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">60 </th> <td>seasca or trí scór </td> <td>seascadú (60ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">70 </th> <td>seachtó </td> <td>seachtódú (70ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">80 </th> <td>ochtó or ceithre scór </td> <td>ochtódú (80ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">90 </th> <td>nócha </td> <td>nóchadú (90ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">100 </th> <td>céad </td> <td>céadú (100ú) </td></tr> <tr> <th scope="row">1000 </th> <td>míle </td> <td>míliú (1000ú) </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Russian">Russian</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ordinal_indicator&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Russian">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Russian_numerals" class="mw-redirect" title="Russian numerals">Russian numerals</a></div> One or two letters of the spelled-out numeral are appended to it (either after a hyphen or, rarely, in superscript).

The ordinals for 1 and 2 may however be given an -e form (förste and andre instead of första and andra) when used about a male person (masculine natural gender), and if so they are written 1:e and 2:e. When indicating dates, suffixes are never used. Examples: 1:a klass "first grade (in elementary school)", 3:e utgåvan "third edition", but 6 november.
