eighteenth
Two before twentieth
Eighteenth is the ordinal form of eighteen—the position after seventeenth in a sequence.
It names a birthday marking legal adulthood in many countries: She's turning eighteen, so we're throwing a big party for her eighteenth.
An eighteenth is one of eighteen equal parts: an eighteenth of the estate.
