Messy, doesn't really go because the proposed words are too similar to
existing words for other numbers.
My artificial language Hallon manages it better - check out the "numbers"
section in http://www.geocities.com/paulvstownsend/hallon/

I would guess "fivetens" to be 50.
I have a system in Sasxsek that uses a suffix ("-aus") to
indicate powers of 1000.
1 ien
2 duv
3 san
4 kuad
5 kiq
6 ruk
7 sep
8 bat
9 nauf
10 des
100 hek
1000 kil (or "ienaus")
million = duvaus (1000^2)
billion = sanaus (1000^3)
trillion = kuadaus (1000^4)
etc....
