Your Definition

Pronunciation: /ˈoʊ.nəl/ Definition: 1.	The ordinal number symbol: 1. 2.	The initial position in a sequential order; the primary element from which all others follow. 3.	The principal, foremost, or most significant item in a ranked list or hierarchy. 4.	Denoting the starting point in any process, series, or progression.

Significance: • It defines the primary position with clarity and regularity, removing irregular morphological forms. • It emphasizes primacy, priority, and initial status in systematic contexts. • It identifies the lead element in sequences for technical, educational, and general use. • It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations found in Germanic ordinal terms. • It simplifies teaching (ensignating), indexing, and communication about order and rank. • It improves precision in descriptions of lists, degrees, priorities, and hierarchies. • It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "first" with a consistent Latinized ordinal pattern.
