[Spellyans] Abbreviating Ordinal Numbers

[Craig Weatherhill]

This is why I said that nessa, for 'second' is only weakly attested.   
I'm aware of the Late Cornish attestations but the meaning, 'second'  
or 'next', is unclear. So, to avoid doubt, I use secund for 'second'  
and nessa for 'next'.  So, 2d, rather than 2a.
