    The ordinal form of zero is zeroth and thus it is abbreviated 0th.

    Zeroth, though I had always just thought it was "none," I was wrong. Merriam Webster is my (and your) friend!

    Practical mathmatician here. Zero is not an ordinal. Zero has no value but to take up space in a number.

    I would say "Noughth". Most ordinals in English follow the standard pattern of "-th", so "seventh", "millionth", etc. Down at the small end of the scale, though, things get a bit quirky: "third", "second", "first", which are basically medieval English formations. Since "zero" was virtually unknown in medieval English, and the usage to denote 0 was "nought", I'd go for "noughth".
