+### Ordinals
+The "backbone" of the ordinal suffix will be __T__ and/or __D__, and the options are, in terms of T: __-te__ (Danish, Dutch, German, Norwegian); __-ta__ (Icelandic, Swedish); __-t__ (English); and __-ti__ (Icelandic). The other question is whether ordinal numbers will have the singular/plural distinction or be invariant (like genitives). Also, one can see that morphologically, there's a similarity between ordinals and preterites, but happily there is no danger of conflict because numbers don't act as verbs.
