Usage notes
Used adjectivally, where numerals behave as adjectives and are the closest to the noun of any present, the noun must be plural for it to express the cardinal meaning. Else, it represents the ordinal numeral "sixteenth". It is generally represented in writing by its numeral glyph, represented in romanisation by "G" (as the system is vigesimal).
It is most commonly used on the eastern coast between the capital and the lower Eastern Fjordlands.
