primary, secondary, terciary, etc.
Not sure what they're called but the next one is quartenary. Latin has cardinals (unus, duo, tres, etc.) how many?, ordinal (primus, secundus, tertius, etc.) in which order?, distributive (singuli, bini, terni, etc.) how many each?, numeral adverbs (semel, bis, ter : once, twice, thrice), multiplicative numerals (simplex, duplex, triplex).

Latin ordo 'order', cardo 'hinge, compass point' (whence our cardinal).
