sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Sefer Yetzirah it is the Roman numeral six, as in chapter VI or Kings vi. In the primary lessons: In maths and history, Roman numerals appear on clocks, in kings' names (Henry VI) and for chapter numbers; VI means 5 + 1 = 6. In computing lessons, vi is an old text editor. Otherwise it is usually a fragment, not an English word.
