Quattuordecim is quattuor and decem, four and ten. It is indeclinable, so the noun takes the case: quattuordecim dierum, quattuordecim navibus.
The ordinal is quartus decimus, "fourteenth", both halves declining. The spelling trips people up: two t's, as in quattuor, and the whole thing is a mouthful that Romans said in five syllables without complaint.
