Lõhedega

Lõhedega is an Estonian inflected form of the noun lõhe, meaning "with salmon" or, in a different sense, "with fissures/cracks". It is formed by adding the comitative/instrumental suffix -ga to the genitive plural base lõhede, yielding lõhedega. In Estonian grammar this case expresses accompaniment ("with"), means or instrument ("by/with the help of"), and can denote a characteristic or content.

Usage examples in Estonian include simple adjuncts to verbs and noun phrases: Ta valmistas pastat lõhedega (He prepared pasta with salmon) or Sein oli lõhedega (The wall had cracks). The form can appear in both culinary contexts (describing dishes that include salmon as an ingredient) and technical descriptions (referring to objects that exhibit gaps or fissures).

Culinary and cultural relevance: when interpreted as "with salmon," lõhedega relates to Estonia’s culinary practices, where salmon is commonly smoked, salted, or used in salads and open sandwiches. In geological, architectural, or repair contexts, lõhedega may describe materials or structures that contain visible cracks, informing maintenance or safety assessments.

As a single word form, lõhedega functions within sentences according to Estonian case rules rather than carrying standalone lexical meaning beyond its compositional parts.
