What if the name Sixteen is a mistranslation from another language and only sounds like Sixteen to Shallan?
When his name is first mentioned it is in Quotes and says that is what he calls himself, (RoW Ch 75 Page 864). What if he is using that to his advantage to give himself cover for why he only shows up every 16 days. It also give the Honor Spren a reason to be amused by him rather than suspicious..
I am trying to find how to pronounce 16 from glyphs and to see if any other characters names sound similar to it. I think it would be pronounced Jesash or if he is being tricky and said his real name backwards Hsasej. I used the glyphs section in the Coppermind (glyphs article, numbers section) to come up with this. I haven't been able to find any name that starts with J, Y or H that might sound similar to it though, yet.
I wonder if Sixteen is studying the statues because they are made of stone but seem to have clothes rippling in the breeze. Is this realated to Ars Arcanum about Stoneshaping and it's Connection?
The other thing I am considering are the Ten Esscences that relate to 1 and 6.This is because the individual numbers make up the sound of the full number, based on the example of 1173 in the coppermind..
Lots of Spoilers for Warbreaker and Mistborn Era 2 particurlly,.with these theories though
