Here they are in Shemspreg:

1    oyno
2    dwo
3    tree
4    kwetwer
5    penkwe
6    sweks
7    septim
8    okto
9    newin
10   dechim
11   dechim-oyno
20   wichimti (or dwo-dechim)
21   wichimti-oyno (or dwo-dechim-oyno)
30   tree-dechim
100  chimtom
1000 sheslo

The forms are pretty boring and are straightforwardly derived from
traditional reconstructions (i.e., no glottalic theory); Shemspreg
was not intended to show my prowess as an Indo-Europeanist. It was a
whim and has long since been abandoned.
