Orderly Ordinals

#ordinals #greeknumerals #greekgrammar #numerals #greek

First and Last and ORDINALS

Chapter 20 has quite a few so a list of the

Greek Ordinal Numeral Adjectives should be useful.

Words featuring in Chapter 20 of Matthew are highlighted in BOLD RED.

FIRST. πρῶτος SECOND. δεύτερος THIRD. τρίτος

FOURTH. τέταρτος FIFTH. πέμπτος SIXTH. ἕκτος

SEVENTH. ἕβδομος EIGHTH. ὄγδοος NINTH. ἔνατος

TENTH. δέκατος Eleventh ἑνδέκατος

Lastly ἔσχατος always has the final word !

METOUSIA IS 200

IT'S METOUSIA 200!

So lets look at the relevant Greek numbers!

200 in Greek is δια – κόσι – οι / αι / α

and 200TH is διακοσιοστός

100 however is ἑκατόν

Numbers between 200 and 1000 will have κόσι in the middle.

Orderly Numbers

Orderly Numbers - the Greek ordinal  Adjectives One to TEN
plus the Adverb forms for Once Twice Thrice 

GREEK ORDINALS.

An Ordinal is a kind of adjective used to describe an item in a series or sequence.

Just as Cardinal Numbers are One Two Three so Ordinals are First Second Third …

One is A Number and Noun

First πρῶτος An Adjective

Once ἅπαξ An Adverb

All of the Ordinals end in τος or ος and so follow the ος η ον Adjective pattern.

One First πρῶτος Once ἅπαξ

Two Second δεύτερος Twice δίς

Three Third τρίτος Thrice τρίς

Four Fourth τέταρτος τετράκις

Five Fifth πέμπτος πεντάκις

Six Sixth ἕκτος ἑξάκις

Seven Seventh ἕβδομος ἑπτάκις

Eight Eighth ὄγδοος ὀκτάκις

Nine Ninth ἔνατος ἐνάκις

TEN Tenth δέκατος δεκάκις

The Cardinal Numbers have been listed in a prior post.
