Etymology expansion

[edit]

I think it might be the case that it is 13 to 19 because those numbers end in "teen":

  • one
  • two
  • three
  • four
  • five
  • six
  • seven
  • eight
  • nine
  • ten
  • eleven
  • twelve
  • thirteen
  • fourteen
  • fifteen
  • sixteen
  • seventeen
  • eighteen
  • nineteen
  • twenty

In the English names of the numbers one to one hundred, only the highlighted 7 names above have "teen" at the end: https://www.englishclub.com/kids/numbers-chart.htm (control+f "teen") --User123o987name (talk) 01:30, 25 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
