Annotations:
1 One sees that in English, Low German and partly in Dutch the first number in "thirteen" and "fifteen" changes, the r changes places due to r-metathesis in "thirteen" and the vowel in "fifteen" becomes short.
Furthermore German has evolved quite differently through the second sound shift, so its forms have become quite distinct to the other varieties shown here which all have together that they weren't affected by that sound shift.
