Correct spelling

ninth

Correct spelling, explanation: ninth is the correct form of writing down the ordinal number of 9. We add the suffix th to the number nine with the omission of e to create the correct spelling. That is why the spelling nineth is not correct, because of the vowel e that was not left out. The only correct version is ninth.
