Pitkittäisistä

Pitkittäisistä is the elatiivin monikko form of the Finnish adjective pitkittäinen, which means longitudinal or spanning along the length. In Finnish, adjectives of the -inen type decline like nouns, and the elatiivin (elative) plural form ends with -isistä. Thus pitkittäisistä translates roughly to “from the longitudinal ones” or “of the longitudinal ones,” depending on the context.
