Etymology

From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E.. Equivalent to kuus (six) +‎ teist (of second). Shortened from kuusteistkümmend ("six of the second decade"), which is still evident in declension. Cognate with Finnish kuusitoista.
