Forming numbers in Arabic is quite easy, from 13 to 19 you just place a number before ten for
example 13 = three ten, instead of thirteen in English, 17 is seven ten in Arabic. From 21 to 99
you just need to reverse the numbers and add (wa- between the two numbers) 36 would be six
wa- thirty instead of thirty six (sitta wa-thalathun), (wa means and).
0 is sifr in Arabic, from which the word cipher came. For 11 and 12 theyre irregular, so just
remember how to write them by now (11 = ehda ashar, 12 = ithna ashar).
