ordinal interrogative pronouns

[Frank Lichtenberk (FOA LING)]

Toqabaqita (Austronesian, Solomon Islands) has an ordinal interrogative
(although I wouldn't call it a pronoun):

fita-na
'how manieth?',

as in

fita-na   si                  manga?
             PARTITIVE time
'(for) how manieth time?'

based on the quantifier fita 'how many?, how much?'. The suffix -na is used
to derive ordinal numerals from the corresponding cardinals:

fai-na
four-
'fourth'

It is also used, among other things, to index third-person possessors in one
type of possessive construction:

gwau-na
head-
'his/her head'.
