Provided ordinal numerals are formally distinguished from cardinal numerals and one is based on/ derived from/ more complex than the other (rather than being suppletive), ordinals are always based on/ derived from/ more complex than corresponding cardinals. (“Wenn Kardinalia und Ordinalia morphologisch unterschieden werden und eine Ableitungsbeziehung zwischen ihnen besteht, dann stellen die Kardinalia die Grundformen und die Ordinalia die abgeleiteten Formen.”)
