Nonaginta seems to have been shaped by the ordinal stem non- (as in nonus, "ninth") rather than by novem, which is why it does not look like its units. It is indeclinable: nonaginta dierum, nonaginta navibus.
The ordinal is nonagesimus, "ninetieth", and nonagenarius gives English nonagenarian. Ninety-eight and ninety-nine can also be counted down from a hundred: duodecentum and undecentum.
