Lerakott

Lerakott is an Estonian term that functions as a past participle and adjective, meaning laid out, deposited, or arranged. It is derived from the verb lerakama, which means to lay down, place in order, or deposit.

In usage, lerakott describes objects, arrangements, or plans that have been completed by laying them out or placing them in a designated position. It is commonly found in descriptive, technical, or formal texts—such as architecture, logistics, archaeology, and planning documents—to indicate that something has already been laid out or established.

Morphology and usage notes: as a participial adjective, lerakott agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, following standard Estonian declension rules for adjectives and participles. It can be inflected to fit different grammatical contexts, and is often used in both singular and plural forms as part of descriptive phrases.

Etymology: lerakott is formed from the verb lerakama, with the typical Estonian participial suffix that yields a past-participle meaning—describing something that has been laid down or arranged.
