Fourth is the ordinal adjective used for describing the position in a sequence, as in the fourth item or fourth place. It also appears in phrases like “the fourth quarter.” It is pronounced with a stressed /fɔːr/ on the first syllable and a quiet /θ/ at the end, giving a compact blend of velar and interdental sounds. The word often coalesces the /r/ and /θ/ into a single fluent cluster in many accents.
