sibil-wol

In Korean, the word 월 for 'month' is a homonym that also means 'moon'. This reflects the ancient lunar calendar systems where months were tracked by the cycles of the moon.
The character 月 in 11월 is shared with Chinese and Japanese, meaning that a reader of those languages can identify the 'month' part of the phrase even without knowing Korean.
The number part of 11월 uses the Sino-Korean number 십일, whereas if you were counting objects like apples, you would use the native Korean number 열하나.
