S. eneg, num. card. “six” (Category: Cardinal Number)

The Sindarin word for “six” based on the root √ENEK of the same meaning (PE17/95; VT42/25; VT48/6; Ety/ÉNEK).

Conceptual Development: Rough notes associated with the Early Noldorin Grammar of the 1920s had the deleted forms ᴱN. leme and limel near undeleted ᴱN. eneg, all unglossed but probably words for “*five” and “*six” (PE13/128 note #78).
