_Tw[=a]_ is declined thus:--
Masc. Neut. Fem.
_Nom._ tw[=e][.g]en, tw[=a], tw[=a].
\__________________ ___________________/

_Dat._ tw[=ae]m.
_Gen._ tw[=e][.g]ra.
So also _b[=e][.g]en_ (both), _b[=a]_, _b[=ae]m_, _b[=e][.g]ra_.
_Thr[=e]o_ is declined thus:--
Masc. Neut. Fem.

\_____________ _______________/

_Dat._ thrim.
_Gen._ thr[=e]ora.
The others up to _tw[e,]nti[.g]_ are generally indeclinable. Those in
_-ti[.g]_ are sometimes declined like neuter nouns, sometimes like
adjectives, and are often left undeclined. When not made into adjectives
they govern the genitive.
_Hund_ and _th[=u]send_ are either declined as neuters or left undeclined,
always taking a genitive:--_eahta hund m[=i]la_ (eight hundred miles),
_f[=e]ower th[=u]send wera_ (four thousand men).
Units are always put before tens:--_[=a]n and tw[e,]nti[.g]_ (twenty-one).

The ordinals are always weak, except _[=o]ther_, which is always strong.
