So out of curiosity is there another english word that comes after antepenultimate? How are we foreigners support to code any language when we don't even know english propa... ;-)

[Campbell Ritchie]

After antepenultimate is penultimate. After penultimate is last, final, ultimate, etc.
For before antepenultimate, try this dictionary link.

And shouldn't it be before ante penultimate ?

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

In LISP it would be caadr.

Don’t let’s get started about car and cdr and caadr.

Ruud Smith, welcome to the Ranch
Only eight years’ lurking. I think the record is ten years, but I am not certain.
