They mean 6. And I meant "put" rather than "but."

you talk about the false cognate shesh-seis but not sheva-seven- this is so funny if its just a coincident.

Actually, number borrowing is far from unknown: Japanese borrowed the Chinese numbers wholesale, and only uses its native numbers 1-10 in restrictive circumstances. And in the Uralic family, no number larger than six is reconstructable in Proto-Uralic; everything else is either innovation or borrowing, usually from IE.
