edit- dua - one
- rua - two
- tolu - three
- va - four
- lima - five
- ono - six
- vitu - seven
- walu - eight
- ciwa - nine
- tini - ten
For digits 11 - 19, you take tini, add ka, and cycle through 1 - 9.
- tini ka dua - eleven
- tini ka rua - twelve
- tini ka tolu - thirteen
- tini ka va - fourteen
- tini ka lima - fifteen
- tini ka ono - sixteen
- tini ka vitu - seventeen
- tini ka walu - eighteen
- tini ka ciwa - nineteen
The numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 are formed by taking a single digit number, and adding sagavulu to them, which was the usual word for ten in olden times.
- ruasagavulu - twenty
- tolusagavulu - thirty
- vasagavulu - forty
- limasagavulu - fifty
- onosagavulu - sixty
- vitusagavulu - seventy
- walusagavulu - eighty
- ciwasagavulu - ninety
If you wanted to say a number such as 22 or 58, you would take ruasagavulu, tolusagavulu, etc, add ka, and then cycle through 1 - 9, just like you did for 11 - 19. So 22 would be ruasagavulu ka rua and 58 would be limasagavulu ka walu.
