Very bad, it will not work at all like this. Reason is, the numbers are WAY too similar to each other. Example: In German, there are already problems with "zwei" (2) and "drei" (3) being too similar, and in these cases the alternative for 2 (zwo) is used. Your numbers are even much more similar to each other, all of it, which would cause even much bigger problems. All numbers need to be clearly distinct from each other! -- Pascal A.
