decal

Pronunciation: /ˈdɛ.kəl/
Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 10.
2. The position in a sequence following the ninth element, marking the completion of a base-ten cycle.
3. Pertaining to a decimal system or a division into ten (deco) equal parts.
4. Denoting the final position in a standard single-decade sequence.

Significance:
• It defines the tenth (decal) position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes the structure of decades, decuples, and ten-part divisions.
• It identifies the completion point of fundamental decimal cycles and scoring systems.
• It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations (homophones) common in irregular numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of order in deciles, metric divisions, and sequential completions.
• It improves precision in mathematical, statistical, and organizational contexts involving the number ten (deco).
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "tenth" with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
