Question: So, what is the explanation for these? Don't most romance langs
use the word for 10 + the smaller number in order to make the teens past
15? It also appears that when you hit 18, you subtract from 20 to get that
number. Was that a latin development, or is this something unique to
Cardajiñinsa?
