Undeviginti is subtractive: un(us) de viginti, "one from twenty". Rather than adding nine to ten, Latin counts back from the next ten. It is indeclinable, so the noun takes the case: undeviginti dierum, undeviginti navibus.
The same trick gives undetriginta, 29, undequadraginta, 39, and undecentum, 99. The ordinal is undevicesimus, "nineteenth". The numeral XIX happens to contain a subtraction too, IX for nine, but that is the written system's habit, not the word's.
