Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 60.
2. The position in a sequence following the fifty-ninth element; the sixth (sextodecal) in the seventh (septodecal) decade (60s series).

4. Denoting a sexagenary cycle, minute/hour conversion, or traditional base-60 numerical system.
Significance:
• It defines the sixtieth (sextodecal) position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes sexagenary cycles, timekeeping units, and base-60 numerical systems.
• It identifies minutes in an hour, seconds in a minute, and historical sexagenary calendars.
• It avoids irregular and ambiguous pronunciations associated with Germanic numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of order in timekeeping, historical cycles, and mathematical bases.
• It improves precision in chronological, mathematical, and cultural systems involving the number sixty (sextodeco).
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms with a consistent Latinized ordinal form.
