+=== Numbers  ===
+In some genealogical records, numbers—especially dates—are written out. The following list gives the cardinal (1, 2, 3) and the ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd) versions of each number. Ordinal numbers are adjectives and may sometimes appear with the feminine ending ('''''-a''''') or the neuter ending ('''''-um'''''). In written dates the ordinal numbers usually end with the grammatical ending ('''''-o''''').
