Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *seśtas, 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”), 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.
