The Illunse word for fourteen is cwefordice. Cwefordice is an unique word.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for fourteen which is quattuordecim, and the Old English word for fourteen which is féowertíene.

fuindice : fifteen

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for fifteen which is quindecim, and the Old English word for fifteen which is fíftíene.

This word is a mixture of the Latin word for hundred which is centum, and the Old English word for hundred which is hundred (same as Modern English) or hundtéontig (ten decades?).

My previous Illunse word for hundred was cethund, before that it was hentund. I decided to start this word with H because no other Illunse numbers start with H.

There are no Quenya or Sindarin numbers for hundred. Tolkien didn't have his elves count numbers above twenty.

Ninety, in my words

noganig : ninety

The Illunse word for ninety (90) is noganig.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for ninety which is hundnigontig, and the Latin word for ninety which is nonaginta.

Next up, my word for a hundred.

The Illunse word for eighty (80) is othanig.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for eighty which is hundeahtatig, and the Latin word for eighty which is octoginta.

Another lengthy and unweildy Old English word. Hund means decade in compound words such as hundeahtatig. For Illunse, I'm going to drop the hund and pretend the Old English word is instead eahtatig.

Next up, my word for ninety.

Seventy, in my words

seftonanig : seventy

The Illunse word for seventy (70) is seftonanig.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for seventy which is hundseofontig, and the Latin word for seventy which is septuaginta.

At seventy the Old English words get lengthy and unweildy. It seems that hund means decade in compound words such as hundseofontig. For Illunse, I'm going to pretend the Old English word is instead seofontig.

There are no Quenya or Sindarin numbers in this range. Next up, my word for eighty.

This word was previously setonaning.

Sixty, in my words

sisanig : sixty

The Illunse word for sixty (60) is sisanig.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for sixty which is siextig, and the Latin word for sixty which is sexaginta.

Sisanig is not quite my word for six plus the suffix nig. The Illunse word for six is sise. I decided to use an A from the Latin word.

There are no Quenya or Sindarin numbers in this range. Next up, my word for seventy.

Fifty, in my words

fincanig : fifty

The Illunse word for fifty is fincanig. Fincanig is a misspelling of financing.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for fifty which is fíftig, and the Latin word for fifty which is quinquaginta.

To make my Illunse word for fifty, fincaning, I modified one letter and transposed another. It's not quite the word for five plus the suffix nig. My Illunse word for five is finec.

I think this is enough number words for now. I'll come back to numbers again later.

Forty, in my words

ceutarnig : forty

The Illunse word for forty is ceutarnig. Ceutarnig is an unique word.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for forty which is féowertig, and the Latin word for forty which is quadraginta. The C comes from transliterating the Latin Q to CW.

For this Illunse word, ceutarnig, there are a couple of letter modifications. My Illunse word for four is ceuwor. I decided to change the O to A because the Latin word contains three As. The W was changed to T to avoid having the word look like it contained warning, and because of a modification I'm making to fourteen. I'm retroactively changing my Illunse word for fourteen from ceuwordice to ceutordice.

Thirty, in my words

thirnig : thirty

The Illunse word for thirty is thirnig. Thirnig is a last name which can be from Saxony.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for thirty which is þritig ( I transliterate as thritig), and the Latin word for thirty which is triginta.

Thirnig doesn't begin with the word for Illunse word for three, ther. Although it's close. The Old English and the Latin words for thirty also have close, but not exact, relationships with their numbers for three.

Twenty, in my words

tewnig : twenty

The Illunse word for twenty is tewnig. Similar word tewing means to prepare by beating or working, such as leather.

This word is a mixture of the Old English word for twenty which is twéntig, and the Latin word for twenty which is viginti.

Tewnig is admittedly more like the Old English word, but over half of its letters are also in the Latin word.
