Definition
第十二 (dì shí èr) means 'twelfth' — the ordinal number formed by the prefix 第 (dì) plus the cardinal 十二 ('twelve'). The row's POS is tagged as 'm' (measure word), but 第十二 is actually an ordinal number, not a classifier. It always appears before a measure word (e.g., 第十二个, 第十二次) or directly before a noun in formal contexts. The POS tag appears to be a data error.
