They are the harder numbers.
The easier numbers are: young, il, ee, sam, sa, oh, yook, chil, pal, goo.
Why?
Structure.
Structure is consistently ([digit][units])*[digit]
For the hana/dool/set numbering, once you get above 19, it becomes a bit confusing. 20 is not dool yeol. it's sumul. 30 is not set yeol. it's seo run.
Hence the lack of consistency makes this numbering far harder than the other.
