<DIV dir=ltr>&gt; From: Qov<BR>&gt; As a mu' ru' in English, "the how-manyth?" would be understood, but different context-sensitive solutions need to be found. <BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; E.g. [a race finish] "What's my place?"<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; 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.&nbsp; The answer seems clear to me.&nbsp; &lt;'ar&gt; and &lt;x-DIch&gt; both follow the nouns they are describing and as such &lt;jIH 'arDIch&gt; can only mean, "the how-manyth me?"&nbsp; This would work fine if it were a bunch of clones running the race.&nbsp; &lt;'arDIch jIH&gt; must be referring to an unstated noun and so should be interpreted as, "I am the how-manyth (finisher)?"<BR>&nbsp;<BR>janSIy</DIV></DIV></DIV> 		 	   		  </div></body>
