Ordinal numbers

SpiffGQ · 02-23-2006, 09:55 PM

Hi, all. I'm looking for Sanskrit ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc) from 1 to 12. Preferably, I'd like IAST as opposed to Devanagari so I can figure out how to pronounce them :-), though I should probably ask, too, which syllable is pronounced in Sanskrit?

Thank you for your help.

प्रथम द्वितीय त्रुतीय चतुर्थ पंचम षष्ठम सप्तम अष्टम नवम दशम एकादश द्वादश

Wow. Devanagari is compact compared to English.

Thank your for your help.

About emphasis -- how does it work in Sanskrit? That is, which syllable in those words is emphasized? I know that in Hindi at least, it depends mostly on the vowel sounds. Something about long and short vowels.

एव is the word used for emphasis.
