Quaternary

[cema]

noun: the cardinal number that is the sum of three and one
adjective: coming next after the third and just before the fifth in position or time or degree or magnitude


They must be kidding me. Why not just say "four" and "fourth"?

I implied "the (dictionary) definition".

Indeed, Cema got confused by a "branch chasing" optimization that used to be rare in paper dictionaries for reasons of space scarcity, but this is no more an issue in the online case.

Having "foo: noun, see bar" is an online dictionary must not be tolarated anymore.
