la énième fois - why is this not written at 'l'énième fois' ?
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Jennifer,
I don't know the reason but you don't use the elision before -
énième, ixième, and onzième
Hope this helps!

It’s like “the Nth time” in English. So, it’s effectively a letter, not a word and, in French, you don’t use l’ before letters (or numbers).
