4 = Four, 5 = Five, 6 = Six, 7 = Sief

8 = Eahten, 9 = Nine, ᘔ = Ten, [] = Eleven


10 = Twelve

11 = Ele’elve (Thirteen Is One Left From Twelve)

To know what is a polygon use this method
ask yourself if its :
F- flat
C- closed
L- line segments
And if they have all then it's a polygon
Have a great day :)
