Numbers 21-99

All numbers from 21 to 99 are formed by simply hyphenating the numbers 20, 30, etc. with the numbers one through nine: dwarenty-æn, dwarenty-dwa "21, 22", etc.

The ordinals are formed using the ordinal of the units portion, or by adding -st to the decade if there is none: såxentyst, såxenty-sibest "60th, 67th".
