How to convert integer into a string literal?

Is there a function to transform integers into their English equivalents? I.e. to achieve the transformation:

some_function(1) = 'one'

some_function <- function(i) {
     stopifnot(i %in% 1:9)
     lookup <- c("one", "two", "three",
                 "four", "five", "six",
                 "seven", "eight", "nine")
     lookup[i]
}

Modify as needed.
