First, let’s look at 1st, or more the tail that takes one from numeral to ordinal. Two does a matching trick, moving from 2 to 2nd, just as bronze gets 3rd, each digit demanding a different suffix to extend the ongoing sequence.
Jenny Edwards, daydreaming at a party, noted the quirk while gazing at the birthday candles. She wondered if English had a word for these vowel-free clusters. Boringly, the answer points to ordinal indicator, as colourless a name as pedestrian crossing or tin-opener: phrases that starkly say what they mean. Honestly, sometimes English misses a trick.
JAMUL
Jamul residents gathered Thursday to hear the latest about “Hollywood Casino,” which is about to open in their community, and to voice their continued opposition.
The casino is backed by Jamul Indian Village, a small local tribe, and Penn National Gaming, Inc., of Pennsylvania.
The meeting was sponsored by the Jamul Action Committee, a group that has long opposed the gaming facility.
There were no Jamul tribal leaders at the meeting, but on Monday, tribal chairwoman Erica Pinto said, “It has been 16 years, but our casino is almost ready to open.”

Pinto said the tribe recently met with the National Indian Gaming Commission in Washington about some “minor changes” in a management agreement.
