"šéš" meaning in All languages combined

See šéš on Wiktionary

Numeral [Proto-Balto-Slavic]

Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *swéḱs. According to the reconstruction *šéš, the initial consonant was assimilated to the final one, otherwise a regular version through ruki sound law should give the Proto-Balto-Slavic reflex *séš. But an initial s- is found in the Baltic languages (e.g., Latvian seši, pre-Lithuanian *seši > Lithuanian šeši), perhaps pointing to the alternative version in Proto-Balto-Slavic, *séš in which ruki sound law applies regularly. Furthermore, cardinal number 6 ("sixth") in Old Prussian is usts, from earlier *ustas, which then points to a Proto-Western Baltic variant, *us, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *uš. Eventually, linguist Vytautas Mažiulis (2004) reconstructs Proto-Balto-Slavic as *swéš (PB *sešes and *us) instead of *šéš.
