A student asked why the "o" is dropped from primero and tercero in front of singular, masculine nouns. She hypothesized that those were the only two ordinal numbers that end in -ro. But we know malo, bueno, alguno, ninguno, and grande get similar treatment. So, adjectives that end in -lo, -no, -ro, and grande? I cannot find an answer in my big, bad grammar book or online as of yet. Any help from one of you, perchance? Thank you.
