six
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic numeral from root ששׁ; masculine singular form, occurring in cardinal/ordinal usage (often construct in enumeration). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שִׁת/שֵׁת is the Aramaic reflex of the root ששׁ meaning 'six.' As a masculine singular numeral (construct in some attestations), it denotes the cardinal number 'six' or, by extension, ordinal 'sixth,' but the core value remains the numeral itself. |
