| Root | שׁשׁ (š-š) |
| Core Meanings | six, sixth, numerical grouping of six |
| Semantic Range | the number six; a group of six; by extension the sixth in sequence when contextually ordinal |
| Conceptual Significance | The number six often signifies completeness within the created order yet falls short of seven, the number of fullness or covenantal completion. It is prominently associated with the six days of creation and human labor within the biblical rhythm of work and rest. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, masculine singular, construct state (HAcmsc). The construct form links the number to a following noun, forming a genitival relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שֵׁשֶׁת is the masculine singular construct form of the cardinal number "six." Rendering it as "six-of" preserves the construct relationship, indicating that it governs a following noun (e.g., "six of [days]") while maintaining its masculine singular grammatical form. |
