[Tesaṃ + aḍḍha-upapadena + aḍḍhuḍḍha-divaḍḍha-diyaḍḍha-aḍḍhatiyā = 3 words]

Tesaṃ catuttha-dutiya-tatiyānaṃ aḍḍhūpapadānaṃ aḍḍhuḍḍha-divaḍḍha-diyaḍḍha-aḍḍhatiyā-ādesā honti, aḍḍhūpapadena saha nippajjante.

Aḍḍhena catuttho aḍḍhuḍḍho (AbhA. i, 336), aḍḍhena dutiyo divaḍḍho, aḍḍhena dutiyo diyaḍḍho (A. i, 231), aḍḍhena tatiyo aḍḍhatiyo (Vin. ii, 156; VvA. 59).

[There are] “aḍḍhuḍḍha”, “divaḍḍha”, “diyaḍḍha” and “aḍḍhatiya” of those [ordinals] that have “aḍḍha” as the preceding member.
There are the substitutions “aḍḍhuḍḍha”, “divaḍḍha”, “diyaḍḍha” and “aḍḍhatiya” of “catuttha” (fourth), “dutiya” (second) and “tatiya” (third) when they have “aḍḍha” (half) as the preceding member; [these substitutions] are accomplished together with “aḍḍha”.
Examples
  1. Aḍḍhena catuttho aḍḍhuḍḍho (with a half it is the fourth: three and a half).
  2. Aḍḍhena dutiyo divaḍḍho, diyaḍḍho (with a half it is the second: one and a half).
  3. Aḍḍhena tatiyo aḍḍhatiyo (with a half it is the third: two and a half).
