This article is beautifully written with 53 sentence examples and diagrams
that can be downloaded as figures or PowerPoint slides. It has 25
references and 2 endnotes. The second endnote explains the etymology of
"eleven" and "twelve".
Highly recommended by Izzy (that's me) whose hobby is historical
linguistics but whose experience includes actuarial mathematics, the real
time conversion of radar xy coordinates to cockpit display polar
coordinates using *only* addition, subtraction, and left/right shift
operations, and the design and coding of a relational database application
for aircraft wiring diagrams and bundle layout drawings.
