1. (after a noun) three hundredth, number 300

Usage notes edit

Since this number does not have a m-based form, similar to other multiples of ten afterwards, if it's describing a total number of items, it comes before the noun.

Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún dọ́là ni. ― It's three hundred dollars.

However, if it is describing an ordinal sequence, it comes after the noun.

Ọmọ ọ̀ọ́dúnrún l'ó jẹ́. ― She's the three hundredth child.
