Pronunciation: /ˈdu .əl/
Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 2.
2. The position in a sequence following the initial element; the secondary or succeeding item.
3. A state of being paired, coupled, or existing as one of two principal components.
4. Denoting the second in order, rank, or importance, often forming a complementary pair with the first (primary).
Significance:
• It defines the second position with regularity and clarity, avoiding from suppletive forms.
• It emphasizes the relational nature of being the next after the first, often in a paired or binary context.
• It identifies the secondary element in sequences, lists, or hierarchical structures.
• It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations common in Germanic ordinal forms.
• It simplifies communication about order, rank, and binary systems in technical and general contexts.
• It improves precision in descriptions involving pairs, sequences, and comparative priority.
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "second" with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
Ordinal number:
zeral (0-al)
onal (primal) (1-al)
dual (second) (2-al)
trial (3-al)
quadal (4-al)
quintal (5-al)
sextal (6-al)
septal (7-al)
octal (8-al)
nonal (9-al)
decal (10-al)
Cardinal number:
zero (0)
one (1)
duo (2)
trio (3)
quad (4)
quinto (5)
sexto (6)
septo (7)
octo (8)
nono (9)
deco (10)

Examples:

• "In our analysis, the dual factor proved almost as significant as the primary cause."
• "Her name appears in the dual position on the table, immediately after the team (equipe) captain."
• "The dual chapter expands upon the concepts introduced in the primal section."
• "This principle and its dual counterpart form the foundational dyad of the theory."
