Külgomadusi

Külgomadusi is an Estonian term that appears only sporadically in available texts and does not have a widely established definition in standard dictionaries. The word is formed from külg, meaning side, and omadusi, the genitive plural form of omadus, or property/characteristic. Because it is not a common term, its precise meaning can vary between authors and disciplines.

In some contexts külgomadusi is used to refer to secondary or ancillary properties that accompany a primary attribute of a subject, object, or dataset. The concept is often described as relating to side attributes rather than core or essential characteristics, but there is no single, universally accepted interpretation. This variability reflects its rarity and the specialized nature of the discussions in which it sometimes appears.

Etymologically, the construction suggests a notion of attributes attached to or alongside a main feature, similar in spirit to phrases like “side characteristics” found in other languages. However, due to limited usage, the term lacks a standardized definitional framework, and its deployment is mostly confined to particular texts rather than broad language use.
