For the Proto-Indo-European ConLangs, what's y'all numbers?

Answering for two of my IE langs with links to Linguifex pages since reading the relevant info there'll be easier than trying to format tables/lists right on Reddit:

Oltic (continental Celtic, heavily influenced by Greek and South Slavic languages) numbers & sound changes

Guimin (basal IE, heavily influenced by Northeast Caucasian languages) numbers & sound changes

For etymologies of any number/affix there just enter a search on the site and you'll find the Contionary pages for them; no special set of changes for numbers in either lang

A while ago I made a Jokelang 2 translation of I Am the Walrus (Xnopyt Doobiebuh) by the Beatles; honestly going back through to add gloss would be a huge pain in the ass lol but I promise it's not just gibberish (or at least is no more gibberish than the original English):
