+    * for example 8192: **akttusend-(en)hundred-ninten-tve**
+  * for the numbers 11-19 this system differs from most systems used in the Germanic languages, which makes it a little bit harder to comprehend for Germanic speakers without ever having seen it, but it also widens the distance between the names of the number-pairs "10+x/10·x" (13/30, 14/40, …), which is ofter quite small in the systems of the Germanic languages; e.g. the English words //fourteen// and //fourty// are quite susceptical to get confused
