Harrison,
I think the following (in Spanish) will assist you:

There are a lot of cases of this. The adjectives are just a lovely special
case.

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.Harris
