The form is tagged as a proper noun in all three verses. In Numbers 13:22 the APB renders Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai as sons of Anak living at Hebron; Joshua 15:14 names the same three among those Caleb dispossessed, and Judges 1:10 names them among those Judah struck.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the term as “Sheshai” in a three-name grouping with Ahiman and Talmai. The verse is read as a whole, but each clause plainly treats it as a personal name.
