Proto-Slavic

Etymology

    From Proto-Balto-Slavic *seśtas, mately from Proto-Indo-European *swéḱstos (ordinal form of *swéḱs). Cognate with Lithuanian šẽštas (sixth) Latvian sȩstais (sixth), Old Prussian wuschts, usts, uschts (sixth), Sanskrit षष्ठ (ṣaṣṭha, sixth), Latin sextus.

    Per Derksen, the oldest Proto-Balto-Slavic form may have been *uśtas (perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *wéḱs > PIE *weḱstós) on the strength of the Old Prussian evidence, with *seśtas a later development influenced by *šeš (six). otherwise, the Old Prussian forms derives from the loss of initial *s- from Proto-Balto-Slavic.
