Korduvaks

Korduvaks is a term that appears in some Estonian-language sources without a single agreed meaning. In linguistics, korduvaks is sometimes described as a hypothetical morphological category associated with repetition, either as a verbal form indicating repeated action or as an adverbial particle marking recurrence. Some scholars emphasize that there is no consensus on its existence as a distinct grammatical category, and the examples found in literature are limited and variably analyzed. The etymology is typically linked to kord ('time, occasion') and related forms meaning repetition, though precise formation and usage vary by author.

In other domains, korduvaks appears as an informal label for reusable components or procedures. In software development discussions among Estonian-speaking teams, korduvaks may denote modules designed for repeated deployment or reuse across projects, but this usage is not standardized and not widely recognized outside certain communities. In popular culture, korduvaks has been used as a fictional term in some contemporary stories to evoke repetition or cycles, again without a defined canon.

Because korduvaks is not a standardized term, researchers and writers should specify their sense when using it and provide context or citations.
