The origin of names of the numbers 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 in Danish

http://www.berlingske.dk/forside/artikel:aid=917950

In English it's pretty straightforward, but Danish is another matter. 50 is pronounced using the Danish words 'half','three','twenty' in a sort of strung-toggether fashion whereas 40 resembles the English word (4 tens).

Kinda geeky I guess, but I make no pretence not to be one :o)
