Cardinal and Ordinal numbers

In ASL, ordinal numbers 1 through 9 are done similar to cardinal numbers except they use a little twist of the wrist.  Beyond "9th," ordinal  numbers start adding a "TH" after the number instead of doing the twist.  An interesting difference between English and ASL is that English uses the concept of "nd" for some numbers but ASL only uses "th."  For example English uses 22nd but ASL uses 22th.

Let's go over that again: 
Cardinal numbers are 1, 2, 3...
Ordinal numbers, 1st, 2nd, 3rd...
In ASL we do cardinal numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
In ASL we do ordinal numbers:
1 + twist
2 + twist
3 + twist
4 + twist
5 + twist
6 + twist
7 + twist
8 + twist
9 + twist
10 + th (fingerspell "th")
11 + th
12 + th
13 + th
14 + th
15 + th
16 + th
17 + th
18 + th
19 + th
20 + th
21 + th
22 + th
