Mürgiseid

Märgiseid is an Estonian noun form used to denote signs, marks, or indicators. It is the plural partitive form of märgis, referring to a collection of signs rather than individual ones. The term is used in various domains to describe markers that convey information, denote features, or guide actions.

The range of meanings is broad. In cartography and surveying, märgiseid can refer to markers on a map or diagram. In archaeology, inscriptions and physical marks left on artifacts may be described as märgiseid. In archival and manuscript studies, the word can denote annotations or marginal signs added to texts. In data science and metadata work, märgiseid may be used to describe tags, labels, or indicators that annotate records.

Because märgiseid expresses an indefinite quantity, it is typically used when the number of signs is not specified. In English, it is often translated as "signs," "markers," or "indicators," depending on context.
