Thanks to Thomas Roche, I now
know the progression:
- primary
- secondary
- tertiary
- quaternary
- quinary
- senary
- septenary
- octonary
- nonery
- denary
There's also "duodenary" and "vigenary." I'm gonna find an excuse to use "quinary" as soon as I can; I'm determined.
Yes, I am a word nerd.
Vigenary is so much like vinegary...wonder if there's ever any confusion.
