    English has “twenty-one”, but no “onety-one”.

    But you have teens? Thirteen, fourteen etc? It’s just that a dozen was kind of special, so eleven and twelve are kind of irregular, but afterwards it’s just ordinary base 10, isn’t it?

      But the endian switches for the teens — twenty three is “tens place ones place,” but thirteen is “ones place tens place.”
