RoslanA :
You didn't explain why thirteen and fifteen and not threeteen snd fiveteen. Same with twenty, thirty, forty and fifty.

What about Spanish? with once, doce, trece, catorce, quince and then starts a pattern dieciséis (ten and six) diecisiete (ten and seven) and so

Counting to twelve is very intuitive if you use your thumb to count the three segments on each finger

i think the same is in serbian, we have dvanaest trinaest etf (12, 13) which could have come from “dva na deset” which means “two on ten” and so on for all numbers 11 to 19

Here's a curiosity, what if English language continues following the older pattern? what 13 to 19 would be called?

ItStartsWithL :
In Tagalog: labing-isa, labindalawa, labintatlo... from labis (spillover or extra) ng isa (one), labis ng dalawa, labis ng tatlo until labinsyam. Then, dalawampu or dalawang sampu (two tens for twenty). 🥰

Kurcal :
Kurdish has a similar pattern: deh (10), yanzdeh (11), diwanzdeh (12), sêzdeh (13), çardeh (14), etc. However, there is a parallel usage that places the places of numbers: deh û yek (ten and one - 11), deh û du (12), deh û sê (13), etc.

atackfw 🇵🇸 :
Is anything etymologically related to the Sumerian base 60 number system? I always assumed dozen and gross are vestiges of a different system than base 10
