好问题！

create table t (w varchar2(30));

insert into t values ('First');
insert into t values ('THIRD');
insert into t values ('eleventh');
insert into t values ('Twenty-eighth');
insert into t values ('two hundred fifty sixth');

select 
  t.w, dict.n
from t
left join (
  select
    level n,
    regexp_replace(to_char(to_date(level,'J'),'fmJSPTH'),'[^A-Z]') w
  FROM dual
  connect by level <= 1000
) dict on regexp_replace(upper(t.w),'[^A-Z]')=dict.w
