Pronunciation: /ˈkwɪn.təl/ Definition: 1.	The ordinal number symbol: 5. 2.	The position in a sequence following the fourth (quadal) element; the fifth (quintal) item in an ordered set. 3.	Pertaining to or constituting one of five (quinto) equal divisions, parts, or members. 4.	Denoting the midpoint or pivotal element in a nine-part series (as the fifth of nine).

Significance: • It defines the fifth position with systematic regularity and clarity. • It emphasizes the structure of quintets, pentads, and five-part divisions. • It identifies the central or pivotal element in an odd-numbered series. • It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations common in irregular numeric forms. • It simplifies expressions of order in quintiles, musical groupings, and sequential rankings. • It improves precision in statistical, organizational, and descriptive contexts involving the number five. • It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "fifth" with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
