The numbers above are missing nine and nineteen. I'd guess (from the word
you give for eighteen) that nine is "nou". Eighteen is probably wrong;
it translates as "two nines on fifteen" (which would be 33). I think it
should just be "dawnou". I guess nineteen would be "pedair ar bymthec".

You give 11 as "un as ddec". I suppose the "as" is a typo for "ar", but
languages are funny things and you could be right.
