  • Twelve uses the multiplication, with the particule an: mer an thef [12] (6*2).
  • From thirteen to seventeen, the addition is used again, on top of twelve: mer an thef abo sas [13] (6*2+1), mer an thef abo thef [14] (6*2+2), mer an thef abo ithin [15] (6*2+3), mer an thef abo thonith [16] (6*2+4), and mer an thef abo meregh [17] (6*2+5).
  • As multiple of six, eighteen has a special word: tondor [18] (6*3).
  • From nineteen to thirty-five, the addition is used again, on top of eighteen: tondor abo sas [19] (18+1), tondor abo thef [20] (18+2)… tondor abo mer abo sas [25] (18+7)… tondor abo mer an thef [30] (18+6*2)… tondor abo mer an thef abo meregh [35] (18+17).
  • Thirty-six, square of six, has a special word: nif [36] (6*6).
