  Ek, do, ti, char, pach, chha, sat, arh, naw, das, giara, bara, tera, chawda, pandra, sola. The spelling is more phonetics than anything. Courtesy of my trusty Hindi handbook.

        It's like in French, when you write mon and say something like moo, but not really :-)
        
        The word for 3 is tin / teen.
