Pronunciation: /kwɪnˈtæn.təl/ Definition: 1.	The ordinal number symbol: 15. 2.	The position in a sequence following the fourteenth (quadantal) element; the fifth (quintal) in the second decimal series. 3.	Pertaining to a group, set, or division of fifteen (quintant) parts or members. 4.	Denoting a value that constitutes three (trio) complete five-unit cycles or a standard quarter-hour period.

Significance: • It defines the fifteenth (quintantal) position with systematic regularity and clarity. • It emphasizes quarter-hour units, triple quint cycles, and specific organizational increments. • It identifies temporal units (15 minutes/quarter-hour), sports periods, and standardized quotas. • It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations (homophones) common in irregular numeric forms. • It simplifies expressions of order in timekeeping, sports scheduling, and production quotas. • It improves precision in temporal, athletic, and industrial contexts involving the number fifteen. • It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms “fifteenth” with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
