• no, pa, re, ci, vo, mu, xa, ze, bi, so, dau, fei, gai, jau, rei, vai,
xy'au, zy'ei, by'ai, sy'au, ny'ei, py'ai, ry'au, cy'ei, vy'ai, my'au,
xy'ei, zy'ai, by'au, sy'ei, ny'ai, py'au, ry'ei, cy'ai, vy'au, my'ei, ...

In the above sequence, the CV'VV digits are made by combining the
consonants from the 0-9 base digits with the diphthong endings from the
ten-fifteen part.
For example, py'ai begins with p- becauses 21 modulo 10 = 1, and p- is
the consonant of the base digit pa.

That's certainly not the most elegant system, but it's trying to be consistent with the patterns already present in the zero-fifteen official digits.
