This definition makes sense, given what I already knew about the related ultimate and penultimate. I think I was more familiar with the related penult, though I think I'd heard of neither ultima nor penultima.
I think I'll probably end up pronouncing this word as /UL-tih-muh/, even though that isn't given as an alternate pronunciation.
Also, with apologies to the reader: the ultima of syllable sounds like a bunch of bull to me.
