The form seissid is the only attested inflected form. The trisyllabic forms shown in the table are expected to have undergone syncope and surface as *seiste (genitive singular feminine), *sestu (accusative/vocative plural masculine), *sesta (nominative/vocative/accusative plural feminine/neuter), *sestaib (dative plural), but these are not actually attested.
