    • 22 - zweiundzwanzig - tsvy-oond-tsvan-sig
    • 23 - dreiundzwanzig - dry-oond-tsvan-sig
      • and so forth.
        • Einundzwanzig directly translates into, "One and twenty". The idea is that you can do this with any of the "in between numbers" such as:
    • 36 - sechsunddreiβig - zexs-oond-dry-zig
    • 44 - vierundvierzig - feer-oond-feer-zig
    • 59 - neunundfünfzig - noin-oond-foo-nf-zig
      • and so forth.
