Well, Korean does have month names for January, October,Novemeber,
and December (or the first, tenth, eleventh and twelveth months of
lunar calendar) other than numeral names. Perhaps it used to have names
for other months, but they may have been lost/forgotten (or I don't
know/remember any more.) Besides, arguably Korean has names for days
of each (lunar) month which are related with Korean numbers but are not
identical (for some cases, the difference is not just ordinal numbers
vs cardinal numbers)
