Among Nephite/Lamanite names, /š/ is initial 10 times, medial 2 times, and final 2 times.
Among mixed names, /š/ is initial 3 times and medial 1 time.
Among Jaredite names, /š/ is initial 6 times, medial 1 time and final 3 times.

In keeping with nearly all Semitic languages, /š/ as root letter is almost never repeated in an original Semitic vocable. Hebrew שש (<√šd'ṯ) and שלש (<√ṯlṯ) are no exceptions.
