Numerals combine by multiplication and by addition, and the spacing is what tells you which. Written solid, is two tens, twenty. Written apart, is ten plus two, twelve. Get the space wrong and you have changed the number, which matters more here than in most languages because nothing else in the sentence will contradict you. The same rule scales up: ducent is two hundred, twenty one. The numeral itself never takes -j or -n, so it is , with the ending on the noun; add -a and you get the ordinal dudeka, twentieth.
