Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *šeśtas, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sweḱstós (ordinal form of *swéḱs). Cognate with Lithuanian šẽštas (sixth) Latvian sȩstais (sixth), Old Prussian wuschts, usts, uschts (sixth), Sanskrit षष्ठ (ṣaṣṭha, sixth). Per Derksen, the oldest Balto-Slavic form may have been *uśtas, on the strength of the Old Prussian evidence, with *šeśtas a later development influenced by *śeś (six).
