Ordinal numerals are the form of the numeral corresponding to English -th. As in English, only the last numeral of a compound numeral has an ending — the numerals that precede it are the dictionary forms of cardinal numerals, like сљмьдесят '70' in the compound сљмьдесят пїтый '75th'.

Numbers that consist of a numeral and the noun тІсяча make single-words ordinal numerals. These are compound (double-root) words in which the first part is a Prepositional form of the numeral, e.g. двухтІсячный. The hundreds are formed the same way: двухсћтый.
