4. Denoting the final position before the completion of the second decimal decade.
Significance:
• It defines the nineteenth (nonantal) position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes the penultimate element in the adolescence series and unique prime groupings.
• It identifies the final adolescent year (ane), specific sports squad (equipe) sizes, and prime-based classifications.
• It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations (homophones) common in irregular numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of order in age designations, sports rosters, and enumerative lists.
• It improves precision in demographic, athletic, and mathematical contexts involving the number nineteen (octant).
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms “nineteenth” with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
