シックスス barely registers in the n-grams. Let's leave it for now.

  Comments:
It seems the "proper" katakana version of sixth is シックスス. although as RP indicates, the final ス may be optional. I guess sense 2 could go iff into another entry, with シックスス included, or maybe there could be an "also シックスス" note here.

I think you might have misread "entry" as "sense". I'm wondering whether sense 2 should be a separate entry given that it has a different source word ("sixth" rather than "six").

I think so. One's an abstract number and the other a specific thing.

Should it be a separate entry (six vs. sixth)?
