third

Ordinal number indicating sequence: 'third'. Used to denote the position in a series, especially in listing items, persons, or time periods (e.g., third year, third day, third in rank). While the primary lexical meaning in Biblical Aramaic is 'third', it may also function attributively (e.g., a third part, the third group). Secondary senses such as 'a third portion' or 'thirdly' occur by extension, but always retain the sense of being in the third position within an ordered series.
