[edit] Usage notes

When quart is the ordinal number of a century or of a regnal name of a monarch or pope, it is written using Roman numerals following the noun. Thus Joan Quart is written Joan IV.

For most fractional numbers, the ordinal number is used to indicate the denominator of the fraction. Quart and its forms share the job of indicating fractional fourths with quarter and its forms. Exceptions to this rule include mig (“‘half’”), terç (“‘third’”), quarter (“‘quarter’”), milionèsim (“‘millionth’”), bilionèsim (“‘billionth’”), ....

The feminine form of the ordinal is usually used as the collective noun for a set of like objects of that size. Instead of quart, qüern is used. Exceptions to the usual rule include parell (“‘set of 2’”), qüern (“‘set of 4’”), centenar (“‘set of 100’”), grossa (“‘set of 144’”), miler (“‘set of 1000’”), and milenar (“‘1000’”).
