Inherited from Middle Persian [script needed] (-om).

Iranian Persian

ـُم • (-om)

1. -th; creates ordinal numbers

   پنجم ― panj-om ― fifth

   بیست و یکم ― bist-o yek-om ― twenty-first

2. -th; creates fractions

   یک ششم میوه ― yek šeš-om-e mive ― a sixth of the fruit

An ordinal number formed by the suffix ـم (-om) behaves syntactically as a regular adjective, unlike the cardinals, and takes the ezâfe.

بیست قرن ― bist qarn ― twenty centuries

قرن بیستم ― qarn-e bistom ― twentieth century

Persian has two ways to form the ordinals: ـم (-om), and the related ـمین (-omin). The -om forms have a stronger connotation of labeling, while the -omin forms have a stronger connotation of counting according to a certain criterion. The -omin forms also precede the attributed noun without the ezâfe.

خانه سوم خیابان ― xâne-ye sevvom-e xiyâbân ― third house on the street [out of all houses]

سومین خانه سیاه خیابان ― sevvomin xâne-ye siyâh-e xiyâbân ― the third black house on the street

For "first" in isolation (but not in compounds), یکم (yekom) is much less common than the Arabic-borrowed اول (avval).
