fourth

Morphological NotesAdjective, ordinal number; singular; determined state; Aramaic form corresponding to Hebrew רְבִיעִי; functions attributively or substantively.
Rendering RationaleThis form is the singular ordinal adjective from the root רבע, expressing position in a sequence derived from the concept of four. "Fourth" directly preserves the root sense of four-ness in ordered sequence without adding contextual nuance.
