Pronunciation: /duˈæn.təl/
Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 12.
2. The position in a sequence following the eleventh (undantal) element; the second in the second decimal series.
3. Pertaining to a group, set, or division of twelve (duant) parts or members; relating to a dozen.
4. Denoting a complete cyclical unit in duodecimal systems (e.g., hours, months).
Significance:
• It defines the twelfth (duantal) position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes duodecimal cycles and dozen-based groupings.
• It identifies complete units in timekeeping (hours/months), commerce (dozens), and geometric divisions.
• It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations (homophones) common in irregular numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of order in dozens, clock time, calendar months, and sequential lists.
• It improves precision in chronological, commercial, and mathematical contexts involving the number twelve (duant).
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms “twelfth” with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
Related Ordinal Numbers: undantal (11th), duantal (12th), triantal (13th), quadantal (14th), quintantal (15th), sextantal (16th), septantal (17th), octantal (18th), nonantal (19th)
