<DIV dir=ltr>> From: Qov<BR>> As a mu' ru' in English, "the how-manyth?" would be understood, but different context-sensitive solutions need to be found. <BR>> <BR>> E.g. [a race finish] "What's my place?"<BR>> <BR>> But would you say 'arDIch jIH? or jIH 'arDIch?<BR><BR>I agree with your premise, but I'm not sure the example given demonstrates a confusing situation. The answer seems clear to me. <'ar> and <x-DIch> both follow the nouns they are describing and as such <jIH 'arDIch> can only mean, "the how-manyth me?" This would work fine if it were a bunch of clones running the race. <'arDIch jIH> must be referring to an unstated noun and so should be interpreted as, "I am the how-manyth (finisher)?"<BR> <BR>janSIy</DIV></DIV></DIV> </div></body>
