56 in Draseleq would be _fammipieqostadnen_. This is a verb,
morphologically speaking, and treated as such. It's a compound of

faq- "six" + mi "and" + pieq(o)- "six" + sta- "ten"

Roughly six-and-five-ten. The numbers are named this way,
exactly opposite to the English direction. The _mi_ is
inserted between each element, normally producing assimilation
of the previous consonant.
