Cannot access '__WEBPACK_DEFAULT_EXPORT__' before initialization

Bug report

What is the current behavior? Throw error: Cannot access ‘WEBPACK_DEFAULT_EXPORT’ before initialization

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce. How to reproduce: Need too setup react project, without using Create React App, all is working fine, till I will not add i18next.js to my project, from i18next documentation, I need to create and export i18n function from file i18n.js and import this function in my root js file => index.js, but when I put this import I have error: Cannot access ‘WEBPACK_DEFAULT_EXPORT’ before initialization

webpack.config.json:

const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin")
const path = require("path")

module.exports = {
	mode: "development",
	entry: "./src/index.js",
	output: {
		filename: "bundle.[hash].js",
		path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
	},
	plugins: [
		new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
			template: "./src/index.html",
		}),
	],
	resolve: {
		modules: [__dirname, "src", "node_modules"],
		extensions: ["*", ".js", ".jsx", ".tsx", ".ts"],
	},
	performance: {
		hints: false,
		maxEntrypointSize: 512000,
		maxAssetSize: 512000
	},
	devServer: {
		historyApiFallback: true,
	},
	module: {
		rules: [
			{
				test: /\.jsx?$/,
				exclude: /node_modules/,
				loader: require.resolve("babel-loader"),
			},
			{
				test: /\.tsx?$/,
				exclude: /node_modules/,
				loader: require.resolve("babel-loader"),

				test: /\.css$/,
				use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"],
			},
			{
				test: /\.png|svg|jpg|gif$/,
				use: ["file-loader"],
			}
		],
	},
} 

i18next.js, where I nned to export my function:

import i18n from "i18next"
import { initReactI18next } from "react-i18next"
import Backend from "i18next-http-backend"
import LanguageDetector from "i18next-browser-languagedetector"

i18n.use(Backend).use(LanguageDetector).use(initReactI18next).init({
	fallbackLng: "en",
	debug: true,
	interpolation: {
		escapeValue: false,
	}
})
export default i18n

index.js => where I need to import function

import React from "react"
import ReactDOM from "react-dom"
import App from "./app"
import "./i18next"

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector("#root"))

Versions:

 "webpack": "^5.37.0",
    "webpack-cli": "^4.7.0",
    "webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.2"

Error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access '__WEBPACK_DEFAULT_EXPORT__' before initialization
    at Module.default (i18next.js:3)
    at eval (i18next.js:13)

    at bundle.60182540719e141031ac.js:2083

What is the expected behavior?

Expected not to have this error, because same code is working correctly if I will setup my project with Create React App, and component imports are also working correctly. In index.js I need to have access to i18n function from i18next.js

Please create reproducible test repo, it will be faster and easy to help, I think you have two version of webpack, and use webpack v4 instead webpack v5, run npm ls webpack
