Default Counting from 10-19

When counting from 10-19 you simply say mdjw (10) wa (1) for 11. Or Mdjw (10) snwj (2) for 12. This same pattern is true of all numbers between 11 and 99.

I've only listed the masculine forms. These can be feminine as well (refer to post #1).

Mdjw wa - 11
Mdjw snwj -12
Mdjw khmtw - 13
Mdjw jfdw - 14
Mdjw djw - 15
Mdjw sjsw - 16
Mdjw sfkhw - 17
Mdjw khmnw -18
Mdjw psdjw - 19
