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.
