You make a compelling argument. And I confess I just popped into the middle
of this thread so I'll yield to your assertion that "the third one is the
topic"
And yet, as has been pointed out, a number (in this case, an ordinal
number) is a noun. So I have to disagree with your point that you "don't
posses [sic] the "third" though, you posses [sic] the ship."
Duj wejDIchwIj - there are many ships, but third one is mine.
