/ɔ̄kɸɔ́/ (10) has a plural /ɛ̀kɸɔ̄/. This plural form is used for numbering between 20 and above. The singular form is used for numbers 10-19. So, a quick gloss for (16) and (26) would be

16. ɔ̄kɸɔ́ àfní

ten six

26. ɛ̀-kɸɔ̄-ɛ̀-hà là àfní

pl-ten-pl.two con six

[1] This is actually an allophone of /p/. I use it sometimes to disambiguate the sequence /kp/ from the phoneme /k͡p/.

[2] These vowels are in brackets because they are best classified as rare vowels.
