Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian niguntīnda , niuguntīnda , (with further suffixation) niguntēndesta , niuguntēndesta (West Frisian njoggentjinde ), Middle Dutch neghentiende , (with suffix substitution) neghentienste , (Dutch negentiende ), Old High German niuntazehanto (Middle High German niunzehende , German neunzehnte ), Old Icelandic nítjándi , Old Swedish nitande (Swedish nittonde ), Old Danish nitende (Danish nittende ) < the Germanic base of nine adj. + the Germanic base of tenth adj. (compare discussion of form types at that entry).The Old English α. forms nigentegða , nygentegða , nygonteogða occur in West Saxon sources that show Anglian (Mercian) influence. The β. forms show alteration after nineteen adj. and, variously, -th suffix² and -t (the usual suffix forming ordinal numerals in Scots and northern and north midland varieties of English: see -th suffix²). The γ. forms probably reflect Scandinavian influence. Compare discussion at tenth adj. and n.

The ordinal numeral corresponding to the cardinal numeral nineteen adj. and n. (represented by 19th).

A. adj.
