Ordinal Numerals as a Criterion for Subclassification: The Case of Semitic

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 240-256, March 2026.

Ordinals are often formed according to productive derivational processes, but as a separate word class, they may retain archaic morphology that is otherwise lost from the language.
