Ordinal_numbers [comparison_ordering]
An Item is picked out either by the order in which the members of a set would be encountered by an implicit cognizer, or by the order in which the members of a set participate in an event or state which serves as the Basis_of_order. The former case usually involves a Starting_point for going through the set, while the latter involves a Basis_of_order, which is normally an event that the Item along with other members of its Comparison_set has participated in. Note that Item should be annotated on a second layer, except in cases when the noun structure the ordinal participates in is predicative.
