And use it as:

\enordinalnumber{4}

\enordinalnumber{100}

It is stored now as part of my standard macro pack for Context.
Thanks to all. 


As I was just reminded by a British Telecom website (which confirmed 
that I was moving on the 13rd), I'm used to two more exceptions 
(suggested as a patch):


\def\enordinaldaynumber#1%

   \else\ifnum\lasttwodigits{#1}=12

It is common to express certain numerals with the suffixes

It is of course possible to cobble these expressions up in macros.
But it would be handy if they were built in to Context.

Any thoughts?



I just do

\def\ST\high{st} etc. Is that unacceptable?

See the very end of lang-ger.tex and the definition of
\enordinaldaynumber. I don't know why there is \ordinalstr instead of
\highordinalstr used (in contrast to the Dutch one), but you can
(re)define it like:

\def\enordinalnumber#1%
  {#1\ifnum\lasttwodigits{#1}=11
 \highordinalstr{th}%
   \else\ifcase\lastdigit{#1}%
 \highordinalstr{th}%
   \or % 1
 \highordinalstr{st}%
   \or % 2
 \highordinalstr{nd}%
   \or % 3
 \highordinalstr{rd}%
   \else
 \highordinalstr{th}%
   \fi\fi}

And use it as:

\enordinalnumber{1}
\enordinalnumber{2}
\enordinalnumber{3}
\enordinalnumber{4}
\enordinalnumber{5}
\enordinalnumber{100}
...
