-teen
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, cardinal number; masculine singular absolute; bound combining form used with preceding numerals to form teen numbers. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form is the masculine singular combining numeral derived from the root meaning "ten." It functions only as a bound element forming compound numbers (eleven–nineteen) or their ordinal counterparts, thus best rendered as the suffix "-teen." |
