I find this interesting because the numbers 1 to 6 are close to Spanish numbers.
The numbers 7 to 10 resemble our months 9 to 12. This made me speculate that maybe the ancient Romans only had a 10-month calendar, although this was cited only in legend and the Roman Republic adopted a different 12.5-month calendar. Later reforms would be done by Julius Ceaser and August Ceasar, from whose names we get July and August.
