Sixtyseventh

Sixtyseventh is the ordinal form of the cardinal number sixty, used to denote a position in a sequence. It identifies what comes in the seventyish range—specifically the element that ranks after sixty-sixth and before sixty-eighth. As an ordinal, it is commonly used when numbering items, chapters, events, or positions in lists or rankings.

Orthography and hyphenation are standard considerations. The conventional written form is sixty-seventh, with a hyphen between sixty and seventh. The unhyphenated variant sixtyseventh is less common and often regarded as nonstandard in formal writing, though it may appear in informal text, programming identifiers, or certain typesetting contexts where spaces or hyphens are avoided.

Pronunciation follows ordinary English rules for compound ordinals: it is typically pronounced with the stress pattern of sixty and seventh, yielding a four-syllable word (sixty-seventh). In mathematical or data contexts, the quantity may be abbreviated as 67th, for convenience.

In broader usage, sixty-seventh can describe a rank, a position in a sequence of events, or a reference point in documentation, historical lists, or literature. It is one of many compound ordinals formed from a cardinal base (forty-ninth, sixty-third, etc.), and adheres to common English conventions for hyphenation and capitalization in titles or headings.
