Jakopisteen

Jakopisteen is the genitive form of the Finnish noun jakopiste, a term used in technical Finnish to denote a location where a system divides into two or more branches or distributions. The word jakopiste comes from jakaa (to divide) and piste (point). The genitive suffix -en marks possession or a related attribute, for example jakopisteen sijainti (the location of the split point) or jakopisteen kapasiteetti (the capacity of the split point).

In practice, jakopisteen appears in contexts such as electrical distribution networks, water or gas supply systems, telecommunications, and network diagrams where a feeder splits into branches. It can also be used in mathematical or computational descriptions to denote a branching point in a graph, tree, or data structure. The exact meaning of jakopisteen is therefore dependent on the domain, but it consistently refers to a point of division or branching.

Because jakopisteen is the genitive form, it typically appears within longer phrases or sentences rather than as a standalone concept. The uninflected base form jakopiste is the common dictionary entry for the noun.
