What you are asking is "What is 6 beats to the measure or 6/8 time. The bottom number refers to an eighth note getting one beat-not an octave. i hope that is what you needed to know.
Octave
The 6th note is the octave of the first.
It depends on the time signature. If the time signature is x/4, the the whole note gets 4 beats. It also depends on where the dot is. If the dot is above the whole note, it gets two beats; if it is to the right of the whole note it gets six beats.
A semibreve is a whole note. In 4 pattern time signature, a dotted whole note gets six beats. In an 8 pattern time signature, it would get 12 beats, but I don't think you would ever see that.

In six-eight time, a quarter note gets two beats. (An eight note gets one.)

6|8 time means there are six beats in a measure, and the eighth note gets the count. So, there are six eighth note beats per measure in 6|8 time.
An interval of eight notes is known as an octave.
Yes, an Italian Sonnet consists of an octave (eight lines) followed by a sestet (six lines). The rhyme scheme typically follows the pattern ABBAABBA for the octave and either CDECDE or CDCDCD for the sestet.
I played an octave on the piano.
