Except those wouldn't be appropriate terms. Without making up completely new words, I'd see it more as:

1 - One
2 - Two
3 - Three
10 - Four
11 - Four and one
12 - Four and two
13 - Four and three
20 - Eight
21 - Eight and one
...
30 - Twelve
...
100 - Sixteen
101 - Sixteen and one
...
110 - Sixteen and four
111 - Sixteen four and one

Which is good up until 333 (Forty-eight twelve and three, decimal 63), at which point the words all break. Which is, again, a conceptual problem with any attempt to move away from decimal: all the words are decimal, so you need to convert it to say it easily.
