13. Ordinals. Ordinals are formed from the cardinals generally by adding
pa to the latter ; e. g. gñis. pa, doitiya 'second' ; l' gsum.pa, trtiya 'third'. But for prathama ‘first' we have 55-F dan.po, and not 9789' gcig.pa.
HONORIFIC WORDS 14. In Tibetan there are two kinds of words, honorific and common. The former is used when speaking respectfully to, of, or before a superior ; e. g. for tāta or pits, 'father' wa ab (hon.), as in NA, 6', and pha (com.), as in BC, 106.
