disagree  Fernando Muela Sopeña: Treceavo es un numeral partitivo y los ejemplos son incorrectos (decimotercer/decimotercero es lo adecuado)

decimotercer o decimotercero


Explanation:
Delante del sustantivo sería decimotercer. Detrás, decimotercero. Siempre en una sóla palabra. Si no es determinante, y no acompaña al sustantivo, la forma correcta es "decimotercero"

El decimotercer capítulo.
El capítulo decimotercero.
El decimotercero de los capítulos.
