Pronunciation: /sɛpˈtæn.təl/
Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 17.
2. The position in a sequence following the sixteenth (sextantal) element; the seventh (septal) in the second decimal series.
3. Pertaining to a group, set, or division of seventeen (septant) parts or members.
4. Denoting a prime number value, one beyond a perfect square (16), often representing irregular or prime-numbered groupings.
Significance:
• It defines the seventeenth (septantal) position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes prime number properties, mathematical irregularities, and unique groupings.
• It identifies prime-based classifications, and unique series increments.
• It avoids incomprehensible and ambiguous pronunciations (homophones) common in irregular numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of order in mathematical series, sports rosters, and specialized enumerations.
• It improves precision in mathematical, athletic, and categorical contexts involving the prime number seventeen (septant).
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms “seventeenth” with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
