Is there a build-in ordinal sequence vector in R?

I need a long ordinal sequence vector in R. As a simple example of what I want:

OS <- c("First","Second","Third")

Is there a build-in vector like that?

I googled "R cardinal numbers" and got to the vignette for the toOrdinal package, but unfortunately it doesn't actually get you words.

library(toOrdinal)
sapply(1:5,toOrdinal)
## [1] "1st" "2nd" "3rd" "4th" "5th"

The docs say

convert_to: OPTIONAL. Output type that provided 'cardinal_number' is converted into. Default is 'ordinal_number' which refers to the 'cardinal_number' followed by the appropriate ordinal indicator. Additional options planned include 'ordinal_word'.

so maybe this will eventually do what you want ...
